Light bar low beam?

Rjhoward32006 · Jun 4, 2017

Anyone ever tried to use resistors or something to make a low beam for a light bar?

Here is a bleepinjeep video on that subject.

Sweet, since i moved to utah i can make my buggy streetable. They call it an oversized atv and have restrictions but none the less you can make it somewhat streetable. One of the requirements are high/ low beam headlights. I am going to try and hook this to my low beam switch on the steering column amd see if it will pass inspection

Very cool. I haven't tried to dim a light bar, but that video was the first thing that popped into to my mind when you asked the question. Hoepfully it works.

Yeah i dont care if its a true low beam just enough to pass inspection as one. I highly doubt i will ever be on the road at night. Its more for wheeling places like moab and driving down the road a couple miles to the next trail.

I am sure this is the samething that VisionX has and I haven't thought about using it for this purpose. I had a LED dimmer made by autometer on the gauges of my buggy because the gauges will blind the crap out of you at night. I suppose it will work for a LED light bar. Here is a link to it on Summit.

How about using a different light aimed down for "low beam" and the bar for "high beam"?

I was told inspection was a breeze as long as you try. Its not like an inspection for a car you drive every day. Its called an overzised atv. Most rzr's and buggy's fall under this category. For the most part its simple basic things like seat belts, max width, high low beam, turn signals, brake lights. I have seen others without high low beams just a light bar. Just thought i would try and make one to please the inspector and in case i do get on a legal road at night i can turn it down low.

Add a smaller less blinding bar down in the "grill" area. As long as you can show a light output difference between the 2 I bet they would be fine with it.
