I to am intrested in this topic. I have a Magnum 500 . I have heard somnwhere that the standard high beam could be replaced with a larger watt lamp. I believe it was replacing the 60 watt with a 100 watt can,t remember where I saw that though. Maybe someone can refresh my memory.

I used low profile driving light and they work great. They are small and still 55watts. I mounted them on the top of the front rack and they fit perfectly in between the rack and the acc. bar. I also changed to the 100watt high beam buld, that with the driving lights really lights a path.

Some time ago on this forum I had mentioned putting a 100-watt bulb into the Sportsman headlight. Actually the bulb comes from the snowmobile headlight which can be acquired from your local Polaris dealer for about $10 I think. I have had a 100-watt bulb in my SP500 for a year now and it works great. If and when this one bites the big-one I will replace it with another 100 watt'r. The Sportsman has a 250-watt alternator so it can handle the extra power required without a problem.
