CONVERT TO 3 LIGHT SYSTEM Converting your Pod light type Polaris Sportsman so that when the high beam selector is on, the bumper lights are also on. (3 headlamps) and when low beam is selected, only the bumper lights are on. The nicest thing about this mod is that you do not need to cut any wires or drill any holes. You will need to purchase a standard 12v relay, 4 pieces of 16 gauge wire about 8" long, 4 female crimp on spade connectors(for connection of wires to relay), 4 wire tap connectors.(they are usually blue and you simply insert the wires and squeeze with pliers, then fold back the protective locking cover) Open the pod and locate the wiring listed below Relay terminal #30 connect to Polaris green wire (low beams) Relay terminal #87 connect to Polaris red wire (10 amp protected circuit at the lighter plug) Relay terminal #86 connect to Polaris wire yellow wire (high beam) Relay terminal #85 connect to Polaris brown wire (ground) Use dielectric grease or liquid tape at all electrical connections to prevent corrosion. The way this functions, is that when you select high beam, you are powering up the relay to give 12v to the low beam circuit from Polaris's 10amp 12v protected circuit. (No fuse needed) Enjoy......This is from "snowride" at the ATV Frontier....

Yes, that looks like it will work. But the diode pack method requires only two wires, less moving parts and it’s about as easy and bulletproof as you can get (lights are on a fuse-protected circuit already). I guess it’s just a personal preference but in the environment we subject these machines to I like to keep things as simple as possible for the sake of reliability. That said, have I kept my machine simple? Hell no (hehehe) but all the mods are accomplished with as much simplicity/reliability as possible.

Welcome floodrunner. I agree the diode pack is a better way to do this and can be found reasonably on Ebay. This was actually copied from our old board and could be several years old

Thanks for the welcome! Diode packs of various capacity and price are available from several sources but all are not created equal.

We installed the 3 light kit and the hand warmer kit and they work great. But we had instructions for installing a revers override relay. we installed it the same as my 03 700 but it didn't work on the 05 700. Dose any one know the fix?
