I had a 05 650 the bulbs in it were regular bulbs that were at any auto parts store. Might be the same bulbs as what you have not sure. take the bulb out an read the numbers off the bulb and call around to see if there are any besides what the dealer has.

This worked on my 04-650. Walmart $7.00 each

Sylvania SliverStars or regular quartz-halogen 893's I believe both are brighter then stock too.

Great advice, Thanks! I went by Advance Auto Parts and picked up a 893 for $7.00 just like you said and it's brighter than the stock bulbs.

Ed how does the blub's you're talking about work on your AC ?

Do they get hot enough to melt the plastic len's on your quad ?

Are does your Cat have the plasic len's ?

I hate the stock light's that came on 06' AC 400 i can't see to drive at night with the stock one's , but i heard someone say that a regular bulb for a car would melt the plastic len's ; does it ?

My old Honda with just the one light mounted on the handle bar's was bighter than both light's on my Cat !

I bought a set of those driving light's but i haven't tried them yet i didn't known if they would pull to much juice than the charging system could handle , let me know how they turn out !........

Thank's for the info Ed , and i should've ask you if they were brighter than the stock bulb's ; i know aboult using the CRC Di - Electric Grease everyone use to keep the light socket's and bulb from burning out !
I had troulbe with the light's on a Suzuki KQ of my cousin's that kept blowing them at 10 buck's a pop , since then i've used it on all the electricial system ; and saved a ton of money since then and thank's again for the reply !....
