250EX aftermarket lighting

[kick]

What kind of aftermarket lighting is available? I'd like to get some really bright lights for night rides...

But I want to make sure the bike will be able to handle the draw; nothing would be worse than being 20 miles from civilization with a dead battery. :o

I just bought some 55w halogen's from wally world for like $20.

You might look for a set that pulls 35w, itll be easier on the battery and if you do get them, make sure you turn em off whenever your not riding. You have no pull-start and an auto-clutch...dont let it die. :p

dont bother wasting your money on light for a 250...waste it on some thing better 400ex for example

Look at some helmet lights....ive seen people with them out at the dunes adn they are awesome!

Gee, thanks for the info. :rolleyes: A $5000 quad as a suggestion when I ask about a $50 set of lights.

Thanks Striker and LazeR for the helpful answers. I'll check out Walmart. And I had seen the helmet lights before, but I wasn't sure how bright they are. I'll check those out too :cool:

you can pop start em really easy. happened to me before, i was in 5th and it died and i pop started it while i was riding haha

Don't get the 35watt light!! This is a heads-up! Your stock 250ex light is already 35watts!!!

better take the light back if you got it already.

POP started?

do u mean roll started?

how do u roll start a 250ex with the battery being dead?

[FasstMidnightZ]

I think its something like when it dies u put it in nuteral then shift up, but when u shift up hold it up ,then get it rolling down a hill then when its going fast enough hit the start button then let go of the shift lever so its in first gear. I think its like that, dunno though

Yeah, I know... I'd get the 55W if it won't put a strain on my charging system.
