Default three headlight conversion kit

these directions will allow you to build your own headlight conversion kit to allow you to use the two lower headlights with the low beam activated and allow all three lights to turn on when the high beam is activated. the wire colors are for polaris but the kit will work with all quads with three headlights.
the parts you'll need are as follows:

6 amp. rectifier/diode(radio shack part number 276-1661)comes in pkg. of four.
6" of yellow wire
6" of green wire
heat shrink connectors or butt connectors
heat shrink tubing.
2 scotch lock connectors

start by using the heatshrink/butt connectors to connect the colored wires to the diode. if using the diodes from radio shack the green wire will connect to the end of the diode with the silver stripe while the yellow wire will connect to the black end of the diode. use heat shrink tubing to cover the connections and diode from moisture and dirt. use the scotch locks to connect color coded wires to headlight wires in factory harness. this harness is located under the gauge pod. green to green and yellow to yellow.

If using diodes other than ones from radioshack make sure flow goes from green wire to yellow. this will allow current to flow through green(high beam) wire and over to the yellow(low beam) wire while the high beams are on.

*****this "kit" was discovered by other forum members and is now being passed on to you for free so we can all stop making those freekin ebayers rich off of $3.00 worth of supplies.*****

does your method require wires to be cut and/or spliced?

Thanks,

no cutting or splicing, it uses the blue scotch lock connecters which pierce through the wire in order to tap into the power. you could also strip back the wires and solder onto them.
