| QuadBoss HID's are Vision X I think and they are a good quality replacement, I have been debating on replcing the ones on the RZR with them.. | |

| Guy's wouldn't it be better to go with led's? Most only draw a fraction of a hid lights. It's a lot easier on you charging system also. | |

I think it is. I have a 10" Rigid bar and you couldn't tell my hid lights were on when it was running. I took them off and sold them and put the stockers back in. | |

| For the money the hids do me just fine. The hids draw less than the stock bulds do. | |

| for stock replacments (that I know of) most companies do not offer led's. Polaris offers LED's for the RZR but HID's are a LOT cheaper and work about the same. I have considered HID's for the stock replacements on the RZR but have not broke down and done it yet.. I do have two Baja Designs Squadrons on the front bumper that offer amazing light output (leds).. | |

| i agree leds have better light output but the ones i have and the most i have seen blind oncoming people so bad it makes it dangerous to pass at speed where as hids dont as bad and hids are a great improveent over stock bulbs almost like going from hids to leds about the best price hids ive seen are ddm | |

| Anyone running LED's probably should turn them off when approaching oncoming traffic. I know everyone in our group always do. I had thought about buying Kawi LED headlights for my T4, but didn't want to blind oncoming traffic especially since we ride the road to the trucks at night occasionally. | |

| I hooked mine up with the high beams so I can switch to low when I meet someone, But if I'm running in a group I don't like using them cause I will blind anyone in front if me. I just have a 18" led light bar. It put out 2900 lumes. I plan on getting some flood leds for the front also so I can light em up when I need to see. | |

| I got mine through ddm does anyone have any install picks or instructions? They only sent me one bulb I guess one kit, so I'm trying to get that straightened out. But the one bulb came with two wiring harness's. one has a square box with a red fuse and a 3 prong plug, the other looks like a ballast with two plugs on it. Any help is apprecited | |

Aaron, did you order the single motorcycle kit Hi & Low beam? Did it look like this? This is what you need. Dual motorcycle kit Low Beam. The bulb is a H4 I use the 5k color. I have just low beam and mine are almost 4 years old with zero problems. With the type headlight housing the Grizzly has, the Hi- Low kit is a waste due to it not having a reflective lens in the housing. Call me or send me a pic of the kit you have, with your phone and we'll go from there. 1-270-543-0500
