2013 550 xp adding rear work lights with led taillights work lights & reg plate
23 Attachment(s)
I wanted work lights on my 2013 Polaris 550 xp.
Attachment 14582 I found the work light plugs so they will plug right into the work light socket. I have the wire seal now as well. I got the taillights from the local Polaris dealer. they are for a 2008 Polaris 500. they fit the same no issues. Attachment 14583 im ordering Polaris oem switches that are used on there hand thumb warmers for use with my work light mod. the only difference is they don't the legends on them. but there the same thing..... here is the progress and pictures....... I used 18ga wire. first you will need to remove the old taillights. by removing the 3 11mm nuts per taillight. and remove the plug to the taillight. Attachment 14584 you will need to keep and reuse the nuts on you new taillights if you get them from the dealer. the dealer taillights come with 3157 taillight bulbs and 912 work light bulbs in them already with sockets. so if you intend on leaving light bulbs in them there is nothing else needed for them. Attachment 14585 Attachment 14586 Attachment 14587 I installed my new taillights where the old ones were. so that I could figure out how long to make the wire leads. I had 2 part rolls of 18ga wire and 2 new rolls of 18ga wire. Attachment 14588 so I installed plugs on the red and black wires pairs for both sides and plugged them into the work light sockets. Attachment 14589 and left a little bit of room in case I have to remove the socket. I taped the wires to the taillight plug for the brake and run lights so it would stay the same length. I then removed the rear plastic and left side side panel along with the front rack, headlight pod cover and under the headlight pod cover. Attachment 14590 I used the oem wire loom for the taillights and ran the wires over the oem taillight wire loom to where both sides come together and added 2 inches so there room to solder the wires together and cut them there. Attachment 14591 I then fished the wires though the loom tell I could either get it though the split in the loom round the zip ties or the heat shield tape on the right side. Attachment 14592 Attachment 14593 Attachment 14594 I then ran it to where both sides combine on the left side behind the rear storage compartment and soldered the part roll of 18ga wires there so it then could be run to the head light pod. Attachment 14595 Attachment 14596 I ran the wires tell I got near the trans switch resistor pack. so I could add the trans wire reverse bypass wire from the resistor pack to the headlight pod as well. so I will add the work light wires and the trans bypass wires in my own loom. resistor pack located under seat. can be seen really easy. Attachment 14597 Attachment 14598 Attachment 14599 red wire pin c is the reverse wire Attachment 14600 I then soldered my wire and heat shrinked it there. Attachment 14601 and re loomed everything up nice and neat Attachment 14602 I then combined all the wires in my own loom Attachment 14603 I ran my loom right next to the main wire harness...... Attachment 14604 that's as far as I got so far........ |
Great pictures and explanation.

Now thats a thorough & well done post. Thanks.

Can't wait to see the pictures of them lit up at night time! |

today I have everything all zip tied up. I also added a rear 3rd brake light with warning patterns on the rear under the rear storage compartment. and along with that same bracket I also made a reg plate holder.
Attachment 14557 Attachment 14558 Attachment 14559 Attachment 14560 Attachment 14561 I also added a rear SAE plug with a 15 amp fuse at the battery that I can use for either hooking up a battery tender, or use it for my tow behind grader box scraper linear actuator. Attachment 14562 Attachment 14563 small loom in my hand goes to the rear accessory SAE plug. larger loom is for the work light and trans reverse bypass wires that goes in to the headlight pod. Attachment 14564 was gona wire loom the rear 3rd brake light but I may end up changing it. so I left it un loomed. Attachment 14565 rear fender put back on. and taillight plugged in. Attachment 14566 Attachment 14567 picture of the rear with the new work light taillights. Attachment 14568 led taillights on in run. Attachment 14569 work lights and taillights on camera flash on Attachment 14570 camera flash off Attachment 14571 Attachment 14572 Attachment 14573 Attachment 14574 im gona add 2 more switches in the headlight pod. 1 for reverse light/work lights auto on in reverse, allways off, and always on. the 2nd switch I add will go to future plow lights. Attachment 14575 Attachment 14575 Attachment 14577 also adding a fuse block so everything is fused. hand warmers, thumb warmer, reverse light/work lights, plow lights, winch ignition, and my rear 3rd brake light. Attachment 14578 Attachment 14579 Attachment 14580 Attachment 14581 but I think I may need to replace the fuse block with a bigger one. this ones only 5 think I need a 6. that's it for now!!!!! |

iv been busy working. so haven't had much time to work on my own stuff. but I did get a bit more done.
I got all the wires into the head light pod. along with the relays somewhat wired. Attachment 14517 Attachment 14518 I combined the worklight ground and the relay ground and grounded them to the bolt that holds the foot brake reserve. my relays are water proof. I will be also adding dielectric grease to the pins along with silicone on the ends to make it more water proof. Attachment 14519 Attachment 14520 I did a test on the auto reverse function. and it WORKS...... I just got different fuse block. I wanted 6 but only could find 5 at a local auto parts store. so I will be selling the 5 fuse block and replaceing it with a 6 fuse block. I still need to order my switches yet. |
if anyone is looking for the plugs and pins i have more forsale; New Polaris Rear Worklight Plugs Sold in Pairs New RZR Sportsman 500 450 | eBay

How did you get it wired up for the auto reverse light? I’m in the process of doing the auto reverse with the bypass I have a light installed and have my reverse trans wire split but I need to know where to run the wires to make the light come on automatically in reverse. I also have 2 relays ready to use I just need to know where to run what wires. Any help is appreciated. |
the transmission reverse signal goes to the relays. ill have to find the wireing diagram for it.

Long time, no see, Chuck. You been okay?
