New relays are balanced. I used a heavy duty 12v mechanical relay ILO. Or you can use a heavy duty switch and connect the headlight fuse or fuses ground to it.
Can you elaborate on new relays (2018+ or before) and also heavy duty switch? Looking to get this done on my 2017 and want to make sure I use the right switch(s)

To FauxOperator & pricejh61:
I got it from http://www.SlingMods.com , FYI these guys are great
1. Polaris Slingshot Headlight / Day Time Running Light Bypass System (Just realized this is Version 2, so I must have gotten Version 1 since it was a while back)
Nice work!
I'm guessing you used two of the headlight bypass kits (one of outer and one for inner lights) and then the fog light kit for the LED lower brows?
Got a demo/used Assault coil pack cover off eBay but didnt come with the mounting hardware.
Looks like from the picture (attached) it mounts on with 4 bolts.
Can anyone that has this cover let me know the size/length of the bolts, spacers and washers?
Thanks!
They have the same type mount. I gave my Sparco shifter to a friend. Put in a short shifter from Amazon and new knob from @mytoy.
Thanks - appreciate it!
Reviving this thread for quick question - has anyone swapped an OEM Sparco SLR shift knob into an SL? Is a shift adapter needed or plug and play using the set screw similar to the stock shift knob on the base/SL model? Just got a used one and attached is a pic of what it will come with
Try to get it inside the buttons...will not harm electronics works fantastic. I dont know it it would harm the screen so cover it with a rag just to be safe.
Yes the mode button "clicks"exactly the same as the others. I am holding the face with the buttons in my hand as we speak(dont ask) and the mode button feel exactly the same as the others.

Uh-oh - whatcha got up your sleeve with that faceplate/buttons out of the Sling? Haha
Thanks for confirming the "clicking" - that was my thought that all buttons should click the same but my mode button doesn't so its definitely something up with it. I may just loosen up the faceplate tomorrow and jiggle the button around a bit to see if that would free it up.
Thanks for the welcome all.
In regards to the mods I was lining them up 2 years ago when I rented my first Slingshot and decided I wanted to purchase one. I did my first just a couple days ago - upgraded to white LED headlights. Hate the look of the factory halogens. Saw that the ones from the slingshot-specific shops were north of $180+ for both inner and outer sets. Did some research and saw that there were just regular H3 and H9 bulbs. Picked up these from Amazon:
Stark N2S Series [UPGRADED] 80W... B01LDZCQ02?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Went with the fanless design since I've read the fans on some of these tend to be a weak point. Simple plug and play - took about 20 minutes for all 4 bulbs. Attached are some before/after pics at night.
Was able to get a used Jmod clear hood insert for $20 - will have that installed this weekend. Then next up is the OEM alarm system which should be plug and play as well. Ordered off of Ebay with their 15% off flash coupon the other day for $275. Should have it in about a week. After that back to tackling the lighting and adding LED switchbacks, upgraded interior lighting, etc.
You guys weren't kidding when they say it's a mod pit ♂️♂️
Display MoreHave to admit....thats the first time I have heard of that. It does sound to me like something is sticking. I am surprised that the dealer could not duplicate the problem.
Definitely going to be a dealer issue but if you want to try something so you MIGHT NOT have to go back...
I used this stuff on my honda goldwing buttons and man it solved the stickiness lubricated everything worked great and saved me a trip to the dealer.

Thanks SSREAPER! I'll check that out. Do you just spray that from the outside and try to get it in between the buttons? Also- do you have a stock system and can confirm/deny if the mode button is suppose to "click" when you press it or is just touch responsive?
Got a new 17' SL LE Slingshot a couple weeks ago and noticed from day 1 the mode button would sometimes get "stuck" and keep switching inputs or going into the menu on occasion on the stock SL infotainment system. Also noticed that while all the other buttons "clicked" when pressed the mode button does not and only takes a light "touch" - similar to a smart phone - in order to select it which I'm not sure if thats the case with all Slingshots. On bad days I've started up the Sling only to have the screen go into some sort of USB firmware update mode which I'm not able to exit out of until it goes away on its own or after a few restarts - see attached picture. While doing the 500 mile service the dealer checked it out but weren't able to duplicate the issue - may have to take it back to them again. Anyone experience anything similar?
I'm located in South FL (Pembroke Pines) - just purchased a 17' SL LE a couple weekends ago from Sun Sports Cycle & Watercraft in Fort Myers, FL. Hope to see some of y'all around here riding around. I joined the Facebook Slingshot Riders of South Florida group but don't see many meets/events organized yet.
