Ironbear asked about this, so I will post what I have for future reference.
Any of the three connections under the little hood will work. They are all keyed and fused. I found a nice little connector that fit right on it.........
Here are the instructions I made.........
Polaris had this stuff in mind when building the XP. Not sure if any other years are the same, maybe they are. Coming from my Kawi, it was a pretty simple install.
Remove the front rack.

Then remove the two screws holding the little hood down. I think they are a T20 Torx. Headlight screws are T25 Torx and there are 5 of them. The hood slides right out.

You can see two or more pigtails in there, depending on if you have a winch or not. I used the red one. The red and orange colored ones are hot with the key on only. A male end connector fits in there perfectly. I think it was a 10-12AWG connector.

I put the ground under the headlight pod on a T25 torx screw that holds the headlight in place on the handlebars.

The rest of the excess wires fit easily inside the pod.
