Finally installed the back up lights with the back up beeper plug from Honda SXS. Worked awesome! I bought a double led and install set up on eBay and then this fancy blue Sasquatch switch in the picture. Aside from me being impatient opening up the switch hole in the dash a little too much with a hand file, it wasn’t too bad. Wrapped a little electrical tape on that to solve that problem but otherwise was really straight forward and connected without even having to add wire anywhere. Probably could’ve trim down the one side but wrapping it around the roll bar worked too. Anyone thinking about doing it Andy hesitating but can pull wires, shouldn’t need to worry. I wired the plug to the harness kit directly and then to the lights, back to the switch and voilà! So now in reverse, the switch gets powered and if it’s in the on position, the lights go on with the key. I’di don’t want them to light up in reverse, I turn the switch off. Good luck if you’re doing it and have a good one!

Those look good! Are the lights a flood pattern? I'm looking to do this as well, but I want mine to be switched I think, instead of coming on when I'm in reverse.

I ordered this from the Club Store. Actually only ordered one and did like you mentioned and put on a switch instead of coming on in reverse. I only use it for reverse occasionally and for doing work in the bed or at the meat pole etc. 1 light was good for me. Very happy with it.

Excellent. I'll pickup one of those kits then. Seems perfect. Thanks!

Sounds good. Here's the switch that I use on both my light bars. One for front and one for rear. Mounted both on the firewall between the front seats. If you like deep water maybe mount them on the dash somewhere. Dont mind the scratches :p

They seem to be. They have a real nice and wide funnel to each side that goes way out there. I know a guy who spliced into his tail light wiring harness somehow so that when his headlights were on, the switch got power. If you don’t use too much wattage, you could probably use the awesome accessory the SxS club sells too. I used that for my front light bar (zombie lights) and it worked great.

Hi, lights are looking good! I want to buy the same kit from Hondasxs but I was wondering if you need a bigger battery to run the lights, I currently have a 12 inch light bar and 2 square pods in the front, plus if I add this lights I would have 5 lights all together.
Thanks!

I didn’t. I’ve run them when plowing and they are on and off pretty frequently and I haven’t had any issues yet. I was really careful of how many amps they were though too to keep it under the recommended amount (I think 7?) that was on the plug from SXS.

Thank you 🙏 and greetings from sunny California!
This is my very first sxs and I love it! This thing is a beast off road!

I disagree.

12" light bar maybe 6 amps.
A set of pods, maybe 3 amps combined.
Second set of pods, another 3 amps.
You looking at 12amps of draw if you use them all at the exact same time.

Plus you have a Pioneer 700.
I see no need for a second battery.

That is true.

I was just speaking for myself as that in all my machines I keep nothing extra but factory on my primary battery. I should have mentioned that.
