Crawdaddy 96 Posted October 28, 2015 The stock headlight bulb is fried on my 500. I'm picking up a Squadron XL from Baja Designs but that may take a while. I've heard/read there is a better avenue to pursue than simply picking up a replacement stock bulb . Can someone please send me in the right direction with a link? Thanks.

Schweddy Balls 0 Posted October 28, 2015 Cdad,I have the squadron but I've seen the light mentioned above. (Eg. EddieEarl has it). It puts out amazing light. Not as bright but almost....but at 1/4 the price it's an awesome light and what I would install if the squadron ever takes a dive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted October 28, 2015 Cyclops led. Crazy bright and only $60 Yup. It's what I use, so you know it must be good and an excellent option based on intensive research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted October 30, 2015 All set - ran over to Baja Designs during the noon hour..... They repaired the ground on the 350 Squadron XL (apparently they now have a better design with crimped ground rather than soldered ground). Snagged another Squadron XL for the 5-Hundo.......two spots high two fogs low.......bring on the darkness!!! They also have a new bottom bracket that's just a tad longer so you can push the light back in/lower the beam/stop pointing at the trees...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted November 2, 2015 The BD Lights are terrific once you get them aimed . Drilling bracket and hitting the target is like Dancing with a new partner. Also, the One Touch Dimmer works well as far as I can tell from my side of the light. Bags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bags Skipped the dimmer on both of my non EXC KTMs......I just run the low beam 90% of the time then crush the high beam when/if necessary. There's a new elbow on the bottom that allows you to push the light back a hair deeper......now I'll light up the road instead of the trees...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
