Big Cee has some aux. lights ,$90 the pair, either 20 or 35 watts each, your choice. That should be a total of either 3.3 or 6 watts by my reckoning. DC

After looking into this a bit, it's me conclusion that you'll need to substitute money for the lack of electrical power output. There are HID conversion kits that will allow you to run 35W headlights that produce more light than regular icandescant lamps. You'd need a pair of headlamp shells fitted to the front of your KLR, one for low and one for high. The combined pair would be very bright and still only draw 70W. There are also 20W and 35W bicycle headlights that use Halogen or Xenon lamps that could be adapated to the bike. Also, there are some exotic LED technologies that are coming into production. One seris produces nearly a full 1.0W of light from 2 cell flashlights, but the bulb is $50. Keep an eye on the LED stuff, just like the D-S tail/stop lamp, these will continue to evolve and radically change the lighting industry. A few hours googling and you should some sources for these.

That should have read 3.3 or about 6 amps not watts. Sorry but I was suffering from a brain fart. DC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Make sure you vent that space and call a gas free engineer to certify it free from explosive gases before returning. Dooden A15 Green Ape w/ new friend Kitty

Someone on the list probably knows if the power output is the same for the KLXC and the KLR. I mounted two KC driving lamps to the KLX a couple of years ago. I bought the kit, came with the switch, relay, wiring harness, and lamps. Found enough space under the seat for the relay, routed the harness along the inside of the frame under the tank. Mounted the lamps to a piece of al strap secured just under the headlamp. This kit came with enough instructions that even as electically challenged as I am, I managed to wire it correctly, the driving lamps cut off anytime the high beam is engaged, which I believe is required in most states. Got the kit from my local Chevy dealer, originally for the front of my chevy truck. Works fine so far, for what it is worth.

I have been searching for some time now for affordable, quality auxillary lighting for deer sighting on my KLR. I usually try to be home by dusk, but that isn't always possible. I saw in a flyer this morning that Kragen's Auto Parts has some HID lights on sale at a price that seems reasonable. Here is the info. 4" HID lights with Internal Starter and Ballast 3.15 - 3.30 amp current draw 2500 hour bulb life 6000K color temperature 3200 lumens 35 watt eurobeam pattern 2 wire hook up I looked these lamps over in person and they appear to be of decent quality. They are a little ober 4" in diameter, but are a bit bulky with the case being about 4" long. They mount with a single 3/8" diameter bolt and have provisions for locking down on the desired aiming point. Each lamp has an included polycarbonate clear shield, and the case is constructed totally of some type of plastic. The price is $99 each. Before I fork over any hard-earned money I would like to get some opinions from you guys. I an tentatively planning on attaching them to the Happy-Trails P/D Nerf Bars which I have yet to order from Fred. Any thoughts and comments are welcome. Ross Lindberg Fertile, MN - Oakdale, CA

I bought some pads at the stealership about a month and a half ago and they cost $30 for metallics. I bought some semi-metallic pads at Cycle Gear and they ran about $30. I haven't noticed a price increase. Maybe the parts droid sold you the wrong pads. John
