P1000 Overhead Lights for P1K5

[Spoonbill]

Hope is having as much fun as I've had with the Electrical upgrades on my P1K5. Big Shout Outs to Rob Sparre, Mystic, et. al for assisting with this project. I would like to post one other items for discussion. Has anyone installed an overhead light that won't simply scare off anything in a one mile radius? I an avid hunter who needs simply a somewhat soft red or green glow to assist in reading maps, locating items, or assisting those getting in the rear seats in the front and rear cab. Any thoughts or links would be appreciated.

I am also considering the mod with replacing the OEM intake with the ones Ive seen using UNI Pod Socks/Filters installed on a Radiator Hose. Can someone could assist with the UNI part # .

Thanks in Advance!

you may only need 2 strips if you want it really dim

JoeyL,
Thanks for your prompt reply and link.
Did you simply cut off the 4 Pin Connectors and determine the +/- and tied all that to a small ring terminal through an aux fuse block and switch?

I use rock lights for the cab. I have 2 on front, middle and rear bar. I used white and its brighter than what you want but you can get any color and use the number of rock lights that you think will give you enough light.

I use these, have 2 and they are not crazy bright yet allow you to see.

each strip (4 of them) had wires that are about 3' long or so. i just spliced the two for the front together and ran to my fuse box/switch. same for the back. I didnt use any of the 4 pin connectors.
i used the red lights. i thought i had a picture of it but i cant find it. I hung a strip over each seat on the roll bars.

i had to redo the rear lights on mine because i put in a soft mid panel and it covered up the lights on the center roll bar. if you peel them off they dont stick again. when i ordered the second set the + and - sides were reversed (+12V and GND are shown in the strip).
i got it all hooked up and nothing worked. checked and rechecked everything verified voltage and nothing. then I hooked it up backwards and i got it to work.

found the picture.
its nowhere near as bright as it looks in this picture. in fact when i ordered the second set to replace the two on the middle roll bar, i put all 4 new ones in. now i have two strips on each crossbar above (front, middle, and rear). i was having trouble seeing in the bed with just the 4 strips.

i really prefer the red or green lights for when i am hunting. easy on the eyes in the morning and doesnt seem to spook deer as much.

i will probably end up going with a red light bar and a couple red cubes for driving during hunting season.

these guys have red and green. i have a couple of their flashlights and a green 12" bar on one of my ATVs, so far quality has been good.

I put just two led rock lights in. One is on a rocker for the over head. The other is wired into the headlights to come on to light up the floor board. Very simple install used power coming off the cig/acc outlet to power the overhead since its only one rocklight its not pulling much.

Heard a lot of good things about this mirror with the low light

Thanks for the timely reply. It looks great albeit a bit pricey. Seizmik has a great warranty and customer service though. CanAM has a great one as well, but it is only available in white.

I have this mirror and like it. I have 1 button set to give out red light for predator hunting and one for white light to find anything I’ve dropped in the floor board during normal riding.

Thanks, DrSHotgun. You a gunsmith too??

Nope just a chiropractor that’s pretty good at FPS games. Although I used to own more than my fair share of weapons until I had a tragic boating accident in which all my guns were lost at the bottom of a lake.

You too? I don’t know what’s happening. Seems like it’s happening everywhere

Thank you for the reply. Do you know any vendor who has green or red??

Not really. I'm sure someone on Amazon would have any color you want.
