The over head lights are 35 watt, but single elements, I had to go online to find replacement, what is the exact number on the old bulb, it can probably be ordered online. After we figure this out, I'll add it to the parts and pieces thread. As far as the overhead light go, I may be selling mine and I have the two extra bulb also. Changing over to LED lights, but that another thread.

I first tried to brighten things up by changing out the two outer bulbs to 100W and inner light bulbs to 55W on the light bar. The original 35W bulbs are cheap and they pull about the same or more than a good replacement 55W bulb. I think even with the higher watt bulbs I was still pulling about the same amount of draw as I had them all checked at a place that deals with off road lighting. I had them working for a little while and then blew the 15amp fuse. Don't know if it would have blown again but I just disconnected one 55W light and they were fine. Later on, I then replaced fuse with a 20amp and it was OK. Still not enough light so I replaced all the lights on the bar with 4" Hella Optilux HID lights and what a difference. Easy wiring as you can just cut the ends of the original lights and splice to new lights. The Hella's don't even draw as much as the stock so there is no rewiring or changing anything else. It does make a huge difference. As far as the headlights I looked online and at auto parts stores and I just couldn't find a high low beam 35W or 55W bulb to replace what we have. I think Ricksrb had found then but he said he couldn't remember where I believe. Rick - did you ever remember where?

I also replaced the halogen lights on the bar with HID replacement bulbs from a conversion kit. They work out very well. Way brighter than the halogen bulbs. The only 'install' was the boxes to house the transformers (see picture) all the wiring was just unplug the old and plug in the new. The boxes are just $5 plastic junction boxes from Home Depot.

No i couldnt find replacements. Ended up putting in 50 or 55 watt singles.

      Weighing Options for new UTV Looking for reliablily and functionality
      By ita47
      I currently have a 2011 Polaris 400 H.O. that has fewer than 300 hrs on it. My buddy bought it new and I bought it with around 100 hrs. I use it around the farm and to get between two properties that are about a mile apart. I am tired of dealing with the choke when its cold or even cool out. It starts fine and runs ok if your driving but until it gets completely warmed up if you pull up to a gate and get off to open it will die. And because of the choke my wife has a hard time with it. Before I got the 400 I had a 2013 polaris 500 midsize that was fuel injected but aways ran rich and foul plugs. I had it at two different dealers and neither one could fix it. So I sold it and bought the 400. My father in law has a 2015 Polaris 570 midsize which is fuel injected and it is hard to start and cranks more than it should. Needless to say I am done with Polaris and ready to sell mine and move on to something better.
      I have been looking at the Honda Pioneer 700 and the Kawasaki Mule Pro MX. I was disappointed to learn the Kawasaki Mule Pro MX engine is built by Hysun and not Kawasaki, but that maybe a non issue. Maybe I'm missing another good option that I haven't considered. The main thing is getting something that is bullet proof reliable. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks in advance

      New Axis 700
      By Hig
      Just purchased a new Axis 700 which was delivered a few days ago.  It's May 2023 and I received a 2021 model.  Do they upgrade their model years like a car?  The Axis 700 was brand new but the model year stunned me.

      Wondering if anyone has ever converted a manual transmission to automatic in a Joyner Trooper T2?  Looking to give to my daughter and she is unable to drive a manual medically.  Thanks :- )

      Greetings, new member here from New Mexico
      By J R
      Hi, I just bought a used 2015 MSU500  with 365 hrs on it. After riding it the UTV seemed sluggish and would not climb a moderate hill without getting a running start in low range. Took it to a repair shop and they told me that the clutches were burnt and slipping. Had the primary clutch replaced and afterwards was told that the compression of the cylinder was only 80psi, which I was told was 100psi below original compression. I've bought all parts necessary, including new crankshaft and bearings to rebuild the motor. My question is, does anyone know if a 700cc top end kit will bolt onto the 500 motor case?

So the machine had zero issues with clutch or shifting. then the belt blew. i got the new Polaris belt installed with no issues. i cleaned everything and made sure all belt debris was removed. installed new belt.  now it lurches in gear and is hard to shift if at all. when i insert clutch spacing tool in secondary and relieve belt pressure then in shifts when off no problem. the secondary is spinning fast when in park or neutral. i did try adding and removing shims from secondary also without any change.  the primary moves in and out without issue. it appears there is no issue with primary or secondary. im stumped. can u help please.
