for those who want a oem style kill light switch but dont want to pay 150 bucks to someone trying to make money off us...
all that needs to be done is,
first buy a new oem atc 250r switch, (still available) I got mine for 62 bucks from my local dealer
you need a old original trx250r switch ...I had one with a broken switch, but all the connectors were intact
for the feeds to the switch..
using a heavy embroidery needle slide the needle along side the pin in the connectors and relese the catch holding in the pin from the connector and pull out the pin ....
all the pins can be easily removed undamaged from the old connectors if done properly
( both the atc and the trx connectors use the same style pins and wire colors)install in the correct pin slot in the trx connector
for the light connector ...
you can cut the pins off the atc connector for the light connector wires
use 90 degree uninsulated stakeons with locking catch (available from Granger or electrical supply company, and install into the trx light plug connector
you will have to splice in a second green to split to both connectors (just like the oem one does)I use small uninsulated brass crimps very similar to oem ones but the ones I use arnt split like oem but solid tiny brass barrel crimps, I like them actually better then the split type crimps
it took me about 20 minutes to make mine and it looks EXACTLY like oem at less then half what some scalper would charge for a new oem
i will try to remember to get some batteries to get some pics so you can see for yourself, that its as good as oem... but WAY cheaper
