I would like to install the Three Headlight Mod Kit.

I've been reading up on them and noticed they are a couple form different ways and different kits available. Which is the best kit to buy and install?
Has anyone had problems after installing them? Would like to hear from some of your experiences here. And were to purchase the Three Headlight Kit Mod.

Thanks!

I bought this mod
Polaris Sportsman 3way High Low Beam Headlight Bulb Mod | eBay
Easy to install and still works great 800 miles later!

Any questions let me know.

Doesn't the 2013 550 X2 already have the 3 headlight setup? My wife's 2012 550 XP EPS has it. Looking at ads for the 2013's they mention the three light high beam and 2 light low beam.

Well you just saved the day, your so right. I never really checked it out.
I assumed from reading other posts about this Mod, that most Polaris Machines didn't have that. Sorry about that, what a dumb dumb I am...........lol

SickPupSean, thanks for the help anyways!

It is probably a moot issue now but I remember years ago when I got my '04 there were stories of burned switches or wires that weren't up to driving all three lights at once.

MY 850 XP uses all three headlight on high beam but the 800 Value line I have doesn't I assume that the kits you see on ebay are for the regular sportsman only.

I got this same kit, and I have noticed that the handlebar light cuts off periodically......any ideas???

If you used the supplied wire taps the connection is bad. You should use waterproof butt connectors. Mine is perfect 900 miles later.

Exactly. XP line is standard but the value line is not and therefore need the mod to have all three.


Rather be riding, instead I'm using Tapatalk

Thanks to you posting this. I just bought 2 of them. With this being said. All I have to do is wire this into the headlight wiring correct? How hard was the install. it's gonna be a few months before I can get to it. Just wanted to get ideal on what's involved in the install. Thanx.

I think I will finally have to do this on my 700 after all these years and seeing it in use on my 550.

The install isn't hard at all. Pull the headlight pod apart then look at the headlight switch and trace the harness to the pod. Cut open the wire loom and cut the wires (pretty sure its a green and a yellow wire the instructions tell you which wires they are). Then use waterproof butt connectors to reconnect the wiring and tape the connections with a good electical tape. Don't use the red splice connectors that are supplied in the kit. Use butt connectors.
Any questions during your install let me know

I went with the 3 light mod w/relay harness. Bought it from Matt500. Doing the 3 light mod with a relay is NOT hard on the light switch whitch could over heat & fail other wise. Heres a link to the thread about it. Hope this helps. http://www.polarisatvforums.com/forums/atv-new-members/14388-headlight-mod-relay-kit.html

I picked up a 6 dollar 5 pin relay and hooked mine up. You can use a 4 pin because the 87a pin on the 5 pin ain't used. I cut the green wire and spliced them together with the connectors that slide on the pins on the relay. Did the same on the yellow wire. I'll look back and see which wires goes to which pins. Also cut the orange and brown wire from the cigarette lighter port and plugged up on the 2 existing pins on the relay. Oh and this is on my 2010 Sportsman 500.
