Headlight Lamp Replacement - Polaris Sportsman 550 EFI Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
Lights
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight
and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights
frequently and replace burned out lamps 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 fin-
gers. 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. Remove the five (5)
headlight pod screws.
2. Lift the pod cover and
disconnect the speedom-
eter harnesses from the
speedometer.
CAUTION! Hot components
can cause burns to skin. Allow
lamps to cool before servicing.
3. Unplug the headlamp
from the wiring harness.
Be sure to pull on the
connector, not on the wir-
ing.
4. Turn the lamp counterclockwise to remove it.
5. Install the new lamp. Make sure the tab on the lamp locates properly
in the housing.
6. Reassemble the pod.
