Headlight Conversion

Has any one tries a head light conversion on the sportsman. See a few kits to allow all 3 lights to come on with high beams.

Check out a couple of the below conversions.

1. Will they work?
2. Why did'nt Polaris do this conversion?
3. How much strain is on the charging system will this produce?

I agree with CW on the relay. There's no need to order parts. Just go to the auto parts store and get a relay for about $4 and some wire, connectors and heat shrink tubing.
