400ex battery mod

[4WheelinDemon]

dumb question, but can i put a regular car battery onto my 400? lol i got like 4 car batterys but no motorcycle battery haha. Would it work?

[tri5ron]

Sure,
Just Bungee cord, and Duct tape it to the grab bar.

Are you Serious ?

sure it wont fry anything due to extra amps? its only for a little while till i get the money for a new one haha since i blew 60 bucks lastnight on ebay buying a h4 9003 10000k Bi-Xenon headlight kit for my 400. for only 60 bucks you seriously cant beat it. its high and low, not just single beam.

[tri5ron]

Yeah,...I'm sure it won't blow anything.

Oh boy,...I just can't wait to see a Group 31 stuck to the tail end of your quad.

How about first mounting a milk crate.
Then you could put dual batteries inside of it, and still have room for a pony-keg, and some firewood.
...and while your at it,...
how about strapping a couple of empty 55 gallon barrels to the sides of your nerfbars, and adding a trolling motor to the rear.

Make sure to take some pics, and share them with us here.

bi-xenon kit is not going to work on your 400. the hid bulb is the same it only uses a solinoid for the bulb to move in and out, it will be pointless in the 400ex headlight housing and you have to do alot more wiring.

Oh it can be made to work, but would require alot of work to do it, considering there is nowhere to mount it, its huge, the terminals are wrong.

I just GOTTA see a pic of it floating down the river with a poleholder on the handlebars, and a trolling motor off the back of the milk crate !
Don't forget the Bimini top too !

isnt the bulb h6m and i just got a kid for 36.99 buy now free shipping with less than .2% fail rate...and they look great

[4WheelinDemon]

the kit cost me 60 bucks. its a high/low dual bi-xenon 9003 H4 kit. Its pretty much just the h4 that would work. and suprisingly it wont be that hard. you gotta shape the boot out for the bulbs and make some kind of bracket to keep it in place. or you can rig it with duck tape or epoxy. but im going to do it the right way.

hahaha i think ill try that with my next utility quad i buy like a brute force 650 haha.

I want me one of these, its well worth the price imho:http://www.rigidindustries.com/product-p/rgdl06.htm
