Adding lights

Any suggestions on how to add lights to a Silver Fox GFX with a Predator 212cc motor? It is NOT electric start, so currently no battery. Maybe LEDs and add a battery just for lights??

Thanks

12v 7ah-10ah sealed lead acid battery
16 ga wire from black/- to black- of light
16 ga wire from red+ to two wire switch,
16 ga wire from other wire in switch to red/+ of light

U can charge the battery with any automotive/12v charger (usually AGM type of battery)
The types of lights that are good and cheap are
15watt
27 watt

Just ebay them "off road led lights 15 watt" one or two lights is plenty.

Lights $15-$25
Battery $15
Wire $5
Switch $3
Charger $5-$25 depending on what u want

For connections u can use bullet style electrical connectors, or simply solder the wire and heat shrink over it.

Soldering kit $5-$10
Heat shrink $2

Here is a good light for the money. I have one on my cart and it puts out a good brightness.

If you do buy the light i referenced you to just remember that blue is positive and brown is the ground. Mine came with no instructions but i quickly figured this out.
