Question 1

What is a DSM Integra Sled auxiliary light kit?

Accepted Answer

DSM Integra Sled is a snowmobile auxiliary light kit that combines an auxiliary light with a grille mount designed for a particular snowmobile model. The model-specific, 3D-printed mounting kit neatly integrates the light into the front of the snowmobile and simplifies installation. Exact kit contents and compatibility are listed in each product's details.

Question 2

Does DSM Integra Sled fit all snowmobiles?

Accepted Answer

No. Each mounting kit is designed for specific snowmobile models. Before ordering, check the product page for the make, model, model year and any restrictions relating to engine or trim versions.

Question 3

Does the front cowling need to be replaced when fitting an auxiliary light?

Accepted Answer

The installation method depends on the DSM Integra Sled kit and snowmobile model. Not all kits are fitted in the same way. Check the installation instructions for the specific kit to see whether any panels need to be removed, modified or replaced.

Question 4

What kind of auxiliary light is suitable for a snowmobile?

Accepted Answer

For snowmobiling, choose an auxiliary light with sufficient reach for your riding and a broad beam with adequate vertical spread. The light and mounting must also be suitable for winter conditions and the snowmobile's vibration. Check compatibility with the electrical system and the intended mounting position too.

Question 5

Why is vertical beam spread important when snowmobiling?

Accepted Answer

The front of a snowmobile rises and falls on uneven trails, changing the direction of the light beam. A very shallow beam with a sharp cut-off can briefly point above or below the trail. Sufficient vertical spread helps keep the riding line illuminated despite the snowmobile's movement.

Question 6

Is a high lumen rating enough to choose a good snowmobile light?

Accepted Answer

Not on its own. Lumens describe the total amount of light produced, but not where it is directed. When snowmobiling, the beam's vertical spread, width and reach, along with correct alignment, also determine how clearly you can see the trail and your surroundings.

Question 7

Why use a helmet light when snowmobiling?

Accepted Answer

A light mounted on the front of the snowmobile follows the vehicle's direction. A helmet light follows your head movements, helping you see to the sides and illuminate what you are looking at. It is also useful during stops and complements the snowmobile's own lighting.

Question 8

What head torch is suitable for a snowmobile helmet?

Accepted Answer

Choose a head torch with a mount compatible with your helmet. Consider the light's weight, mounting stability, beam pattern and battery life in freezing temperatures. The light and any battery cable must allow you to move your head freely. Follow the helmet and mount manufacturers' installation instructions.

Question 9

Is a head torch with a separate battery better in cold weather?

Accepted Answer

A separate battery can be useful if the manufacturer's instructions allow it to be carried in a pocket, sheltered from the cold. Keeping the battery warmer may help it maintain its performance in freezing temperatures, while reducing the weight on your helmet. A quality head torch with an integrated battery can also be suitable for snowmobiling if its runtime and operating temperature range meet your needs.

Question 10

What should I check when installing auxiliary lights on a snowmobile?

Accepted Answer

Check the mounting kit's compatibility with your snowmobile model, the light's operating voltage, compatibility with the electrical system and the kit contents. Follow the installation instructions, make sure the mounts and wiring are secure, and aim the light with the snowmobile in its normal riding position.
