- Snowmobile, shunt regulator needs load to work. Replacing 2- 55 watt bulbs with LEDs
Need to replace draw on system to keep regulator working correct.
Hello All,
I have a snowmobile that uses a shunt type regulator to control voltage. They require a constant load (headlights) to work proper.
The 2 stock bulbs are 55 watts on low with the system running 12v.
Racers install another set of hand warmers, wired to high, and tape them to the tunnel to keep the system loaded when they remove the bulbs on mod sleds.
Is there a resistor I can wire into lighting circuit when I install LED bulbs that will simulate one 55watt light bulb?
