HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please read and help............
 
Ok so i have a 2002 polaris trailboss 325. I sank it in a river over the weekend, well not sand, but i was doing some deep water exploring, and nothing happened except i got water in one of my headlight housings, and the bulb shattered on the way home in the dark. Luckily i have 2 lights!!!!! So anyway, they are the twist out style, you turn the harness plug in the back of the headlight assembly and the bulb plugs in. So it should be replaceable??? right???? Well i called my dealer and he said 74 dollars for one!!!!! Thats a whole assembly!!!! I dont need the assembly, i just need a bulb and they said they cant help me. Wire up a set from walmart they said. Is there a part number for them, or can someone help me to find the cross reference number for a bulb i can get at walmart for 10 bucks??? I really done want to buy a cheap set of lights and wire them in myself........:(

I used to know the automotive part number but I have forgotten. Take the old bulb to any good auto parts store and they will find you a bulb. They are about $6 or so.

Yeah it retarded that they want the whole unit replaced for those lower bulbs. Like he says, bring the bulb in to a Auto store,they can,t be a "One of a kind Polaris bulb" .

4030059 bulb # from Polaris OR just match up at an auto dealer as suggested. I think someone didn't check close enough or trying to get rid of a couple lights in stock??? OPT

OLD POLARIS TECH is that a double or single filament bulb, 2 or 3 wires?

Shows only the light assy on the t/boss,BUT shows the bulb separate on the magnum(uses same assy) If you have hi and low beam,will be a double filament. OPT

djoptimus5 10-12-2010 09:44 PM

Yeah the ones i have on mine are 3 wire high low beam.

djoptimus5 10-12-2010 09:46 PM

I guess thats what i will have to do tomorrow. And i'll have to remember not to sink the headlights underwater, but its soooooooooooo fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

djoptimus5 10-14-2010 08:29 PM

djoptimus5 10-14-2010 08:38 PM

More Information for GE 886

Whoever posted 886 i love you!!!!!!!! "No homo" Now i can go slap the auto parts store guy in the mouth, cuz ill bet that they have 20 of the damn things on the shelf.

mykidsdaddy 10-14-2010 10:59 PM

DJ...the GE886 is a modular 2 pin bulb! I have one on my desk in front of me. They are about $18.00 from polaris BUT they are not the 3 pin bulb you said you have! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!:(

djoptimus5 10-15-2010 05:37 PM

Yeah i already knew that i was going to just delete the connector and solder it in, but where do i get the 3 pin at? It seems like they dont exist?

mykidsdaddy 10-15-2010 10:00 PM

I just googled the GE886 and then found my way to here. I don't have time to look for yours and wouldn't really KNOW what to look for! You can filter by 2002 and Polaris. So...have at it!
