Would it be possible to scan and post the instructions out of the kit somewhere?

It sounds very simple to do...we just need to know what diode to purchase and how to hook in the jumpers.

I thought someone may have had these instructions on a website, but I couldn't find the reference in my search.

Would like to do this to a 2002 Sportsman X.

Thanks.

 

I have the instructions for the Montana Jack's kit, but all it does is explain which wires from the kit to splice into the wires on the quad. There is no list of the parts or anything. One of the wires did contain a diode or something in an inline capsule. I don't have a scanner, but I do have them copied onto paper and could fax them to you. I could list the parts that came with it also. You could probably buy them for less than $10 at any hardware store. Email me if you are interested. I guess I could get someone to scan it for me so if anyone else is interested, they can get them too. I'll see what I can do.

 

check out my "tips and tricks" these ideas aren't mine, I've been cutting and pasting from everywhere over the past few years. There is some good info. click here

 

Thanks for the information. I think between the stuff on your website and a few other things I've found after I figured out the 'search' function a little better, should take care of me. I'll probably do the reverse override as well while I'm in the process.

Thanks again,

 

I modified my lights on both my 400 exp and my 600 sport, I installed a toggle switch that shorts the green and yellow wire in the harness from the handlebar. When I throw the switch it causes all three lights to be on at the same time, when off they operate normally. I've been running this mod on the explorer for three years with no problem. it's a perfect setup, low beams aimed in front of the machine and high beam where me handlebar is pointed. And NO it doesn't waer the battery down or burn out the alternator.

 

These are not mine either, Snowride deserves the credit here...

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 4 pin, 12v Relay <a href="http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CT LG%5F010%5F008%5F007%5F000&product%5Fid=275%2D226" target="top&gt;relay&lt;/A">, 4 pieces of 16 gauge wire about 8" long, 4 female crimp on spade connectors(for connection of wires to relay), 4 wire splice 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.

They 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 </A>

 

Acutally thats a good piece of engineering, the only problem is if you want to run any other electrical item that will use power you can't turn it off. With the toggle switch you have the option of having the system function normally. it's an eaiser and cheaper installation too.

 

That may be true, I just posted the instructions as asked. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
