After doing some research, I found the SlingMods instructions to set the Canadian Headlights to High beam. Anybody know if that trick works for the Slingshotonly setup?
@BKL I simply reversed the wiring. So it is set to high beam on. Flip the yellow and blue wires in the harness for the Canadian lights. They will be bright full time vice running the T10 bulb solo without engaging the high beams or the actual H3 bulb.
A buddy was just tuned at the TX hill country event. Fingers crossed there is still a set left I can order for him. PM sent @Slingshot Garage
PayPal ready and standing by.
@MiM When the pool is done you need to bring the fam to come hang and BBQ. We can sneak off for a quick ride while you're here. 
@2W2X1 If you really want the best/brightest then contact the guys at The Retrofit Source | The Best HID & LED Projector Headlight Upgrades they don't advertise slingshot compatible LED/HID on their website but if you talk to them they can get you the ones you need.
I am using LEDs on my slingshot they are much brighter than others(originally had the trickled until they went poof).
Thanks for the lead on other quality LEDs @Neosolidus. What brand did you end up with from this company? I see they offer different brands.
When you say they can make a set for the SS, did you supply the bulb type and just wire them yourself? Or were they able to pre-wire a set?
I need 2 sets of H3 and a set of H9 to fill my USA/CAN setup.
Display MoreI have the "True Canadian" headlight system. Just outside lights, nothing in the center.
I installed the H3 LED lights from Slingmods and have the Alpha LED grill mounted light.
I do a lot of night driving, and this setup gives me lots of lighting. Low beams give me lots of vision and into the ditches well enough, but highs with the grill light and I have more than I know what to do with. I posted pics here somewhere on a similar thread to compair, but I am too tired to find them for you.
However, Coles notes, I get full vision in front of the Sling with reflective surfaces showing up at the 1/2 mile mark
I will talk with Slingmods and see if they can build me a complete kit. I can't add a light bar to my SS without fear of getting a ticket. As it is already, I exceed the number of headlights allowed. Others have been pulled over and or ticketed in TX for running too many lights up front. I guess this state has fear of Aliens?
Joey, when I installed my rugged ridge LEDs, I pulled the factory lights (which I know you already have), but mine were HID. Not sure how it works, but if you find a set of 4, like the DDM ones, I can give you this set of 2 and you'll have all 6. Now I'm not sure if the lights would all match (lumens and color), but in that case, you could have the center lights one tone, with the outer 4 matching... Just a thought! No charge for the lights... And I still have your angle drive oil... Missed you yesterday in Kerrville! Coming out today?
Yeah man, had to work Friday and Abi has a soccer game today just east of Canyon Lake. Besides the weather today looks nasty. I don't even think I'll be able to break away on Sunday to meet up with those leaving. It was a bummer having missed you man. I appreciate the offer for LED left overs... do you know which bulb type it is? We should hook up when you are free... you usually have a more restrictive schedule than I do.
I really don't want to risk electrical issues with the draw of 6 HID lights on full time. I am leaning toward LED again, and was hoping new offerings were out there.
Last LED kit I ordered left the rear of the light housing wide open and I have been caught in plenty of rain in the past. I would hate for water to intrude into the housing and fog it up.
I, too, have the Slingshotonly Canadian headlight kit on my 2015 Base Slingshot and have been less than impressed with the light output. I also have the 6-piece Slingshotonly LED bulb set and was disappointed in that the headlight housings for the CH units as well as the outer auxiliary headlights had to be drilled out to install the aftermarket LED bulbs. I would have preferred LED bulbs that simply fit properly into the H3 mounts.
I failed to mention I originally ordered the Slingshot Only Canadian conversion and returned them when I read I had to modify them. They looked cheaply made as well. When I read that Sling mods sourced the factory units, I purchased those and was pleased with their quality and not having to modify them.
You mention the light output of the Canadian lights and having to angle them to better align with the factory set. Question for you... Did you reverse the wiring to them to have them on high beams full time? I noticed the low beam output was very weak. The alignment isn't too off with the set I installed and having the Canadian lights on high beam, they produce better lighting.
A year ago I ordered and installed LED headlight offerings from Slingshot only. Was not pleased with them. I finally blew out my first stock bulb and want more/better lighting.
Sling mods has some HD LED lights and still offer DDM HID. Neither have add on option for the US Canadian version conversion.
I have the Canadian conversion on my 2016.5 SS.
Looking for the best of the best available today. Thinking HID this time.
If I could get enough light and pull the center two lights I would gladly do that.
Appreciate the help SS bros and ladies!
good times riding today with @Boomer leading the pack... along for the ride was @HeRSling, @dangerdarrell, @thesabrerattler myself and a buddy not on the forum.
Awesome time as usual! Thanks for letting me tag along.
Hey all, just spoke with @Dave@DDMWorks about tunes at the event. He said they will be offered Wednesday and Friday over night only. ECM must be to the DDM works tent NLT 8pm the night you want tuned. Pick up the next morning at 8am.
Price is $500
Get em!
Thanks Dave and Bob!
Like the pattern! Not something I would have ever thought of but neither are the pieces of Velcro I put on mine.
Grip tape patterns are endless. And it really holds up well over the year. I was just being anal and replaced them ahead of the TX Hill Country Event.
I hated the slippery pedals when I am wearing dress shoes and a suit to work. Thought about aftermarket pedal covers... but they are thick and move the pedals closer to the driver.
My solution? Hit up the local skate shop for a sheet of grip tape. Cut a templet and installed grip tape to cover the pedals. The initial set held up for about a year or 8k miles. Pulled them off, slapped them on the back of the left over sheet... cut a new pair and installed them. I sure don’t slip off the pedals and it looks good!
Here is the new set compared to the old set Injust removed. As you can see... one sheet is enough for many slingshots!
Here the new set is installed!
I cut an extra set. First one to find me and request them at Kerrville will be the proud owner of a set of free no-slip peddle covers.
All the badges can be removed. I pulled all of mine... Including the glovebox. All are held on by 3m tape.
I hope Saturday weather changes!
Welp, it is TEJAS! So just give it 5 mins.
I'm getting itchy. I am packed and rolling out o'dark thirty tomorrow. Going to caravan up with a local.
I will be sling-less for most of tomorrow. So catch me hanging around the vendor area or smashing beer at the Y.O. pool!
Sorry, I am out.
Darn it man! Was hoping to reconnect with you here in TX. But we all get it.. Family first and you know what is best.
Here is the event schedule.
Welcome to the madness @Coach. May you ride safe and you wallet only cry a little from the mods you are planning!
@2W2X1 think you better be ready to kill some butterflies on the ride, not sure but just sayin.
I'm good with that. I brought stuff with me to clean her up nightly and cover.
Is it time yet? I’m all detailed and ready to mingle.
If it wasn't a red SS I would consider it.
