PIAA Powersports has set the bar pretty high
as well when it comes to rugged off road lighting
and can be found at almost any venue where night
racing or competition is the main focus. Racers
demand reliability and PIAA has quite an impressive
list of wins from the Heartland Challenge Endurance
Race to SCORE Baja series. Be forewarned, PIAA
lights aren't cheap but you get a quality light
that is purpose designed for our sport.

| Good
lighting is essential when racing at night.
Many racers in the Baja 1000 & Heartland
Challenge depend on lights to get them
to the finish line |
For many of us, $200+ lights just aren't needed
as we seek to just add some additional light
so we can get the job done. Additional back
up lighting is available and comes in handy
when you are on a jobsite and need some illumination
or on the farm when getting turned around without
causing yourself a fence repair. Even backing
up and connecting your ATV or SxS to several
of today's attachments can be made safer and
easier when more lighting is available and this
area has been addressed by several aftermarket
lighting companies.
One area of concern many have is that of the
stock stators output keeping up with increased
demand due to added lighting and other aftermarket
components that add to the current draw. Today's
models usually have more than enough output
to handle a few additional lights as well as
run a winch. If your particular model can’t
seem to handle what you have installed, you
may be looking for a higher output stator, and
Ricky Stator is one on the leading Aftermarket
stator companies with a wide selection of units
for various ATV / SxS models.

| UTV
/ SxS roll cages offer many options for
mounting aftermarket lighting |
The SxS models can really benefit from aftermarket
lighting and with their roll cages offer vastly
more mounting options. With many riding areas
offering night riding opportunities, flipping
the switch and turning night into day has a
cool factor as well as a practical side.
One needs only to look at the truck world to
see how lighting can transfer over to a SxS
and the possibilities are limited only by your
budget. Light bars are very popular as well
and can be ganged together to offer virtually
a 360 degree field of light.

Light
Bars with LED lights are becoming very
popular on both ATV & UTV / SxS because
of there light weight & powerful bulbs
|
With more choices then ever, we hope you pick
out the lighting that works best for you and
you can enjoy the darker side of our sport.
Remember that operating at night can add to
the danger whether you are driving a truck or
ATV so use common sense and follow any rules
about speed when visiting our public trail and
or riding areas.
