back up lights and interior lights

wondring what you guys are using for back up lights?

was also wondering how much my stock system could handle

just want back up lights for that once in a while purpose and an interior light obviously not going to be running non stop.

also heard u could get led replacement bulbs anyone have any idea where i could get em?

i was looking a the led driving lights from advanced auto.

on teryx forums it says something about resistors and crap that i have no idea about.

thans for the help.

I wired in a combo interior/bed/backup light and switch from Advance that works great. It's sold as a real cheap driving light. If anybody's interested, I'll post pics.

Napa big clear 4 x 2 x 2 was like 12 bucks. Lights the whole cab up.

was your lights led or just regular bulb?

can you guys send me some pics so i can get an idea

my head spins when we talk about amps and volts and such LOL

thanks

I bought some cheap slim led running lights from Advance auto parts...they are about 1" wide and 5" long...I mounted them on the rear of my roof and just ran a switch down behind the shifter...works great.

is this the ones you are talking about?

I bought a grill light at Lowes for $12.99. It rotates 360 degrees and the bar pivots 180 degrees. I use it as a dome, cargo, and backup light. Also I can take it off the roll cage in 10 seconds and I got a flashlight. It has 10 LED's and does a pretty good job. The only bad part is it takes 3 AA batteries.

Sounds like the same light that Rick Lilly has. Looks good. Mine is hardwired 12V.

It is the same light Rick has. I may wire in some lights in the future but this thing does pretty good. I really like the fact it's also a flashlight or worklight.

Interior lights you could use the LED lights you had but would not work well for for a back up light , you really need a flood light not a beam ( like a tractor light style ) .

I have used the WalMart driving lights $20.
I use 1 for the back up & 1 for the interior. Seems to work good & not a bad price.

trailer wired in 2nd photo bucket. not pretty but she will work. lol.

To save on bat + stator I have 8 led lights 6 on inside of roof for dooms 2 on storage box in bed draws almost nothing. Hid head lights n led brake/tail n back up lights. Have 5 pias that are for sale gonna switch to LEDs on existing light bar( 5 to sell). Also have heater, draws alot but a most in winter. I have 2 full size red top optima batteries but will be switching to lithium ferrous batteries soon a fraction of the weight. There r no aftermarket stators for the rzr but they have an alternator but that will not last one weekend in WV.

Yep...those are the ones that I have

hey pit dog and rayRAY did you just run a power wire straight off your battery? and pittdog where did you locate your switches?

thanks

probably going with the led driving lights from advanced auto and just run a toggle switch.

you guys think i could run one power wire and pig tail it to run both the interior and the back up lights on 2 seperate switches?

You could use a On/Off/On switch , one power wire , one switch controls both lights , not much chance you will need both at the same time . I would suggest a Marine switch they are built more for the conditions you will stay in ( Moisture) . The last ones I got were off Ebay for like $10 shipped .

i got some 21 led from advanced and they are not near as bright as i thought they would be.

will post pics soon.

and someone with that grille light will you measure and make sure that clamp opens up to 2 inches so it will fit my roll cage? think i am gonna use it as the interior light.

thanks for help

The grill light will not fit a 2" bar. It just barely fit the bar for the Oh Shit Handle.
