Re: new light bar and HID lights
What led light bulbs did you use in the tail lights?

i bought the LEDs from the local kragen and soder in a resistor so that the brake lights would work.

Good luck. Keep your eye on the instrument panel in Glamis for that low battery indicator.

Everything he is using should use less power when illuminated, correct?

used it plenty of times at night all ready, no battery failure. As long as the wattage used does not surpass what the stator can produce, you should be fine. Thats assuming you take into consideration, head lights, brake lights, fan, instrumental display, and the wattage need to keep a positive charge.
i changed the headlights to a lower wattage, change the tail lights to LEDs, and since i run the lights at night, the RZR runs cooler, fan doesn't come on as often. I checked the volts on the battery with all the lights on and the fan, I am still getting 13 volts. Thats charging the battery and runing a load at the same time.

Re: new light bar and HID lights
Did you wire the light bar to the stock light switch as well? When you turn it on, all 5 lights turn on? Do you get light flicker until they're fully operational? I have 3 HID Fuego HID's on my light bar, and when all 3 are connected I get light flicker until the RPMS are higher.

i have a seperate switch for the roof lights. I figure if i blow a fuse or relay, i would have my stock lights still. i do not get any flicker on the HIDs, headlights or roof lights.
A flicker is usually the ballasts not getting enough power to ignite the bulbs. Ballast take a littl more volts to charge up and iluminate the bulbs. If you didn't take precuations and start saving energy by changing to HIDs on the headlights and LED tail lights, your stator might not produce enough power to get a nice crisp hum when you turn the HIDs on.
I would double check ground first, and then maybe add individual switches to each light, that way you can turn them on one by one. That way, each ballast will chrage up separatly and you won't get a flicker.
