Big Red Headlight alternative?

[R-N-D]

Anyone ever alter or substitute their 84 and 85 BR headlight with something more modern and more effective? LEDs or something other than stock? Let's see what you have, or suggest. I'm thinking of the possibilities that are out there and available. Or, is there too much of an issue to do so? Thanks.

I was guessing an 84 but then saw your signature.
The 85 models use a regular H4 halogen headlight, just like a car
and pretty impressive.
Not sure what it would take to get an 85 headlight to fit.
Surely someone has upgraded headlights.
I actually hooked up some cheap garage sale driving lights to the rear rack so I could watch the plow after dark.
No reason one of those couldn't face forward.

I've seen people wire up KC lights to them before.

Sorry, should have specified what year. I have an 84 but I'm also interested in an 85. Going to build an 85 soon. Thanks.

Thanks. I just purchased a similar set for my Polaris Sportsman. Let me know how they work out. I may do the same for the BR.
