I found these instructions for the mod.


Instructions to make and install your own three headlight conversion kit. (all three headlight on when switched to high).

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 heatshrink 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 hood after removing the front rack.

Remove the four T25 bolts.

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.

You don't have to do any of that. Just simply put the switch in a position where it is between both high and low beams untill they both stay on. EASY!
