Headlight Lamp Replacement - Polaris Sportsman 850 Owner's Manual

Lights
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight
and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean
headlights frequently and replace burned out headlamps promptly.
Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.

Headlight Lamp Replacement

When servicing a halogen lamp, avoid touching the lamp with bare
fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will
shorten the life of the lamp. If fingers do touch a lamp, clean it with
denatured alcohol.
1. SP/XP Models:
Remove the seven (7) headlight pod screws. Pull the pod cover
forward.
Non-SP/XP:
Remove the five (5) headlight pod screws. Lift the pod cover and
disconnect the speedometer harnesses from the speedometer.
CAUTION! Hot components can cause burns to skin. Allow lamps to cool
before servicing.
2. Unplug the headlamp from the wiring harness. Be sure to pull on the
connector, not on the wiring.
3. Turn the lamp counter-clockwise to remove it.
4. Install the new lamp. Make sure the tab on the lamp locates properly
in the housing.
5. Reassemble the pod.
