for those of us who refuse to pay for a forum we all made it what it WAS. Will you please forward the info on hooking up a HID system to a NON-Batteried CFI 800.

I read it over it doesn't say anything definitive as to how to install the lights. It does talk about people who have install HID lights on the Dragons but no step by step instructions. The following posts are the last posts from the thread.

Is it so difficult to undestand.
There is NOT DC current in the light system of the Pro.
All CFI engines up to the PRO has been running DC to headlight.
We have installed countless HID kits on dragon CFI sled without a battery. Works flawless if you have the correct ballasts.
But the PRO is DIFFERENT. There is a DC output on the pro, but it is to week to run HID over it. So you will have to rectify the light output, and run it to a battery among with the DC output, and run the HID of the battery.
Then it becomes so spendy, that we desieded there's no market for HID on the pro's.
Same **** is with Arctic cat. They came with DC power all over the sled in 07, and went AC in 2009. But lucky, AC has a DC converterkit to 200usd that brings DC to the whole sled.
We have been selling HID kits for several years, and are focusing on sleds. Have installs on almost every common sled that is possible to run HID.

How about a .5 farad capacitor inline with a full wave rectifier.
OR...
A small battery installed in the system??

This is the solution for every hid problem on sleds.

so being that I have electric start I should just have to run the wiring harness to the battery. Correct?

I think I read somewhere that a battery would be the answer to the problem as it is DC power.

I used to use HID bulbs on older sleds but after testing my SBA at night (No moon and snowing hard) I found them very bright and will not be bothering to install HIDs on this one.

has anyone actually tried to run HID's off the DC power behind the headlight?
can anyone tell me more about this magical DC wire on the sled. Location? Color of the wire?

Usually it's red and yellow for DC +ve and -ve but the colour code may differ with different brands and manufacturers.

i think if you can splice into a wire after the voltage regulator you should be able to run hids on the sled, it will work the same way as your headlights do now, when the sled starts the lights will come on once it sees power.
