Have you seen these?

Never used them, but they look pretty cool.

I have used TTL and it works great @Ricco has some of the best customer service and the lights are real easy to set up. I love how my led chenges color based on the direction my board is traveling. It keeps you safe, makes riding at night easier and really does turn some heads

What all do I need to get to add to my board

@Plaidj, if you are interested in the TTL system, I would gladly help you figure out the parts you would need to get it added to your build. Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ll throw my 2 cents in the hat. I really like these off road LED pod lights:

1,400 lumens, and takes 9 - 36 volts. I’m just using a Riden adjustable buck converter- DPH5005 (correction - DPS5005), to power them from the battery. They are super bright, in a totally sealed metal casing that’s finned on the back to sink heat, and come with mounting hardware.

Those little things great - Im gonna pick them up. What buck converter did you use?

DPS5005 is what I used. Kind of pricey, but you can find cheaper ones, though I can’t speak for their quality. I’d go with Riden. I wanted something that was adjustable in case I want to power anything.

More (buck) options:

Whoops, I listed the wrong one, the model I used is this one: DPS5005

Much smaller than the other one.

How difficult is it to hook up
On one my first build

These are pretty good, just connect 12v, nothing. Else needed.

It’s very easy. There’s just 4 wires in total. Positive and negative from the battery go into the IN- IN+, and the headlights go to the outputs. The headlights just get wired together. Here is a picture of the power source/buck converter that reduces the battery voltage to the desired headlight voltage.
