LED headlights

Make sure that your headlight circuit produces pure DC current (most sleds don't)
... otherwise, you are looking for a more involved project than you may have bargained for.
LED's will NOT run on AC current... which is what powers most sleds that already have Halogen (bulbs with filaments, traditional bulbs).

Most guys I know just swap the stock bulbs for the Superstar Ultra Bulbs and run them. It's a nice light up grade in light and it's plug and play.

I put a set of LED's off of eBay can't remember the brand, into my truck. They work freekin amazing. Figured Id see if anyone knew of a actual trusted brand or model. Most LED's come with a rectifier kind of thing(don't know the proper terminology) to keep the dash codes away and stabilize the power going to the led.
Are you referring to the Sylvania SILVERStar-Ultra bulbs?? (halogen bulbs)
.
Yep, Run those on the last 3 sleds. They give off nice light especially off the all white snow!
Most of the LED kits have a ballast OR a voltage regulator... but do not have a rectifier circuit with them to convert AC to DC....
As a note...99% of all automobiles have DC lighting circuits.
You can make a rectifier circuit... but it will need to be pretty stable to keep the LED's lit and not burn them out.

fishstick,
A halogen bulb (filament bulb) will work with either AC or DC... same numbers, same type of bulb.
What sled do you have your LED's in ?

Im no electrician but I do know the difference between AC and DC. I cant see the bulb working with both.
Either way Im not running any LED's yet. Just trying to get some info. Ive seen lots of guys over on DT say there running LED's form a variety of vendors with out any issue. But theses are primarily trail guys.

There's been alot of post on the Skidoo 850 Facebook page lately. Here are a couple that they have been installing and they say they are very bright compared to stock. https://www.ebay.com/i/262031203954 and another brand was Hikari from amazon
AC to Dc plug and play rectifier.. Use any led bulb you wish in your 2 stroke sled. This unit comes with H4 plugs. can also be used to run light bars and LEd aux lights on ac powered bikes and sleds.
