Pod light is a nothing special automotive bulb,unlike the odd grill light bulbs.
From common list link.
The Guy sounds like he knows what he is saying to me.
From common list link.
Pod bulb (Polaris part # 4010161, new style) (# 2870448, old style, H4)
There are 2 types of bulbs that are used by Polaris in the Sportsman pod. In general, 03 and up will have a 90-degree connector with 2 pins. The replacement bulb can be found almost anywhere if you ask for a GE 886 If you want a slight improvement and a much whiter light, then I recommend you get one of these, unfortunately they only come in 2 packs but at this price, who cares.
This bulb can be purchased HERE
PS. Do not confuse a GE#894, although it will fit and work, it is only 35watt as opposed to the stocker which is 50watt.
Models before 03 will have a straight connector with 3 male spades protruding from the bulb. This is also available wherever they sell automotive lights but the wattage/color selection is almost mind-boggling. Ask for a H4 50/65watt if you want the equivalent to stock. Below is a pick of what the H4 bulb looks like.
I recommend the PIAA brand Extreme White # 15261 (single pack) as there product gives far surperior lighting to anything else I have tried, unfortunately the quality is reflected in the price. The PIAA bulb can be found on ebay at a reduced price when compared to the PIAA SITE

I have a 99 sportsman 500 and I ordered the 2 light bulbs in the front rack, the dealer got 2 lights that my harness don`t plug into the light part numbers are 4030061 they are double filament (<- however spelled) bulbs and there are 3 pins on the connection. My quad the front lights are low beam only and have 2 pins on the connection could the part number for the lights i need be 4030059 ? if not does anyone know the part number i need to tell my dealer so I can get the front lights working again. Thanks allot for the help.
4030059 is the part number for your light bulb. I have the exact same ones. I found these led lights that do replace that bulb.
