My 2006 Polaris X2 came with, what they called, work lights. There is a switch on the headlight pod that turns them on. They can be handy when backing up when it is dark.

 

ive been thinking more and more bout to just wiring it up to a switch to where i can use them whenever needed

 

There might be times you want to see behind you when you aren't in reverse.

If you wanted to get really fancy you could probably get a double throw switch with a position for on, off, and come on with reverse...

 

That would be a great idea JeffinTD. Mine do not come on automatically. It's a manual rocker switch that only works when the quad is running or the key is in the running position.

 

thanks guys so far for the great ideas

 

i put bulbs in and added a rocker switch and walaaa i had lights...lol

 

do you have pics of what you did?

There is a kit for the Polaris with work lights to make them automatic when you put it in reverse. Also, when you add it, the original rocker switch still works. Quadovator.com has them for about 30 bucks +5.00 shipping

 

this is how im gona wire my "worklights" on my 08 sportsman for worklight, off, and reverse lights. i think mine is neg side switching from my gearselector switch. mine will be easy since all the wires go into the headlight pod...
