Want to install front lights on a 2010 Nomad

**bogatyrs** · 11-17-2010, 04:10 PM

I want to install aftermarket lights on my new 2010 Nomad. I have been told that only the Kawi ones fit.

Has anyone had any experience with this and suggestions.

The Kawa ones fit real nice.

Oops, I notice he doesn't have one for the 2010.

One more try :) These are what I have. It took me awhile to find the page.
I don't know if they will fit on a 2010.

Those in my sig pic below are $17 at Wally World, complete with wiring kit, 50W each (the headlight is 100W) and install in a few minutes plus the wiring taking maybe an hour.

It can be done. But I haven't been real happy with the quality of the product.

Stan,

Those look like the Burners from WallyW. I eventually had to replace the sockets, which come right out with bulb removed and are a $2 standard hardware store item. Then sealed them up on the backside with some RTV and have been solid since. Front ring is a little tricky/flaky but never had it fall off. Mounting them on one of the lowers bolts saves some original installation effort, but not sure that works on a 1700

I'm on my second set of sockets. In my case the sockets were not water contaminated but just became loose and made poor contact with the lamp. I like the triangular look and am trying to find something a little more reliable.

Thanks a lot for the info. I may have found a soulution with my dealer who has made me an offer I can't refuse. He has a Kawi light bar and will let me have it for slightly above what I could buy aftermarket bar and installed.

I like to go OEM if the price is right since I don't have the facility to do a lot of self work where I live - not the best garage at my condo...
