I just emailed jetoffroad in regards to a true plug and play HID headlight kit for the Brute's. They say that a kit is actually in development right now and it should be available for shipping out Feb '09. Just thought I would let yall know, seems to be a hot topic on other forums.

Thanks for posting the info!

i dont do enough riding to justify the mod
i dont do enough riding period. darn responsibilities!

 

[DrillersGoDeeper]

Would be interested in a Plug&Play HID kit! Don't really wanna do any "fabricating" to my Brute just yet. Thanks

I'm interested in seeing how they do it.

If someone gets one post up a pic of what comes with the kit before you install it.

 

[jksimpson]

dont you hate those responsibilities

Once you ride with these lights you wont be see where your going on a stock set:bigeyes:

 

[Metal Man]

Yep ranchermoe there defiantly the way to go.I love mine.

When someone makes a plug n play kit you will see many more brutes running these.

What would be really cool was if there was a way to make them dimmer when you wanted to.The way they are they too bright at times. Thats why i went with the white LED outside/marker lights.That way if needed i could turn the HID's off but still have a little light to see in the dark.

 

[ranchermoe]

We went to riverrun for newyears and I seen at least 4 other brutes with hids. When I drive on my wifes rancher with oem lights Its like riding without lights.

 

[ranchermoe]

I tried the led outer lights, they had 4 bulbs. amber colored. They are not as bright as the regular old bulbs.

I would like to try a set of those super bright leds off of ebay. The white ones.

I have a pic of mine in another thread...i'll see if i can find it for you.

[Brute650i]

I am trying to find a complete replacement for the little outside lights to get something that's brighter than the wedge bulbs but not as brite as the hid's. I think I found one the will fit in the hole but need to see if it will be to long or not.

 

[Metal Man]

try it out and let us know

 

[Brute650i]

I'm gonna do some measuring and see. Ill let yall know

 

[phreebsd]

welp what ya got?

 

[Brute650i]

nothin as of yet tried the one i thought would work but didnt so i took the build off and ended up breaking the bulb. I am going to go get another bulb and try it again but not be so forceful with this one. I had it in there and working at one time but it was to deep and was throwing the light everywhere and wasnt very concentrated and when i tried to fix this thats when i broke the bulb.

HID's

I see a bunch of ya'll have them, but anyone have any info on what, where to buy and how to install?

I have a vision issues and cannot see well at night (or it could be the beers....) and they'd be great, just using foglamps now.

All the info you would ever need to do the HID conversion is in this thread on HL.

yep, i can see why you would know need a short bulb. gotta sit far back in the reflector so the reflector can focus it.
