    Suggestions on upgrading Headlight on 92-99 4 strokes. Need to upgrade headlights on my 1992 350 WXE for a trip. Anyone upgrade to higher wattage? HID? Need to rewind stator? Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

    Funny and timely as I just looked into this today on my 94 WXC250. It has a robust stock stator that puts out a strong 130 watts AC. To run a HID you need DC. To do that is not simple on this bike. Float the ground, rec / reg etc. It's a custom project. had Trailtech peep mine and said the KTM or other ones do not direct bolt in and would need a custom backing plate.

    So, the best solution IMHO is the Trailtech X2 70 watt Halogen light which is inexpensive and works great. That's what i did. The stator is very strong even at idle and it lights the 70 watt 2 bulb light very well. It works great and your out a grand total of $80.

    Shameless plug, you can oder that right from me at motosportz.com

    I have night ridden with this light on several bikes and it works VERY well.

    here is the headlight on my 94...

    I want to keep the old school look so I believe I am going to keep the original plastic headlamp and replace the plastic lense with a glass lense unit from Baja Designs. It should be a close fit. Any suggestions on bulb wattage for on and offroad?

    Would the LED Uptite unit work?

    Good question. Maybe I can get the glass casing/lens from Baja Design and the ask George if the Uptite LED will work on the inside of that.

    Make sure it'll work with ac current, I gotta feeling you'll have the same issue's as with HID. But I could be wrong :lol:
