In brief: I'm hunting a nice rearview mirror. Thought I saw one on here a while back..17" x 3" convex style? Dont need billet.
Also, I have stock Headlights. As much as I hate to say it, the snow will be here before I no it. I'd like to get better lighting for plowing. Should I upgrade the factory lights to HID's? Or leave them alone and add a couple "eagle eyes" or something like that.
As always, all input is much appreciated!
Thx! Rich

Thanks cdog...I'll take a look at that option.

Just pick up an eBay HID conversion. I think I paid 30 dollars for mine and they have worked very well, super bright. As far as the mirror, I am looking for an option on that as well.

I got the HID and they are really great

The HID conversions are really a ton better than stock! You can also do a couple small lights on the bumper, or even better, on the A-pillar.

If you want a cheap convex rear view mirror, look at the circle track suppliers. They have some decent ones that just clamp to the cage with some hose clamps.

Are you guys using the single beam HID? or getting the high and low beam ones...

 

[WildEarp]

I got mine way before they had high/low beams. But I don't really ride around where Id need the low beams.

 

[Rockboyz]

Gotcha! Single beam probably work just fine...

Most review mirrors sold are garbage. All my buddies who bought them are pissed because they cracked right away. I got an old review mirror out of a car and added a bracket to mount it. It works fine and is still in one piece.

My convex rearview mirror was intended for a bicycle. I think it's a bit large for a bike (about 4" square, and slightly narrower on the bottom), but it's great for the Rhino. My friend Scott (on here as Wanderers) made a clamp-type bracket from light-gauge steel that wraps around the front roll-cage cross-member, and the mast bolts to it. The mirror back is black, the mast is black, and the clamp was painted black. Total cost around $6 and works great.

I second the LED bar option. I am looking at aux lighting myself, and also considered a couple of Rigid D2 Dually lights for the A-pillars, but after a lot of research and thinking about what I ultimately wanted, I believe I'll be buying a 40" Rigid SR-series LED bar mounted above the windshield and below the roof, rather than get a smaller bar "for now".

Thanks for all the input guys! I ended up finding a car rearview mirror in my garage. Think I'll fabricate a bracket and see how that works. Also, like the idea of the HID factory replacment lights might be the ticket!
