I want to hook up the work lights on my 08' Sportsman 500. I can find no information on what type of bulbs to use (the plugs and wires are there), and how I should wire it. When I remove the headlight shroud I can see a couple of unused plugs, does one of these lead to the work lights? Any help will be greatly appreciated.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Worklight bulbs are GE 912.Worklight switch is 4011074 from dealer.Switch costs $16.53.There are cutouts on the underside of pod for the switch.The plug for it should be zip tied to wiring harness for speedo.

 

Boy that pod plastic is tough. I had to go over the cut with a sharp knife over and over to get through to the front--had the cover upside down on a soft towel (to protect the speedo) and worked at it for ~30 minutes before getting all four sides cut thru. Looked great when done, though. Having the cutout premarked helps a lot.

I heard that 921 bulbs can be used instead of the 912 to get more light. The 912 bulbs were fine for my needs.

 

My knife must be sharper. It took about a minute to cut the hole out. There are extra holes for handwarmers and things too.

i used a heated up razor blade and it worked great.

 

Yes the Sylvania 921 bulb will work also.

 

Lol you guys and yur blades! It took me 30secs with my drem tool! And some how got the wrong bulbs, looked around, had a 90 honda CRX in yard so just yanked the turn signal bulbs and was perfect fit lol! Good Luck!

 

Thanks for the help. I hooked up the lights today and they work just fine.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
