What number are the taillight bulbs in the RZR? I know the headlights are 880's but i want to get LED taillight bulbs....i searched and searched on here and on google and found nothing saying what the taillights are...

i dont know the numbers but some place on here their is a thread on it something about how polaris uses a switched ground insted of possitive that messes up the led's but their is something you can do so they will work so look up led or tail lights i think it might be in the lighting section it's old so happy looking


i did find this link has the info in it...

You may have to splice a resistor in between the positive and ground. When I put LEDs on my truck, thats what I had to do.

You will likely have to use a resistor (what I did) -or- a relatively complex relay arrangement (what my buddy did).

When you hit the brake pedal, to light up the brake lights the RZR switches ground instead of the hot wire. The LED lights want to see the hot wire switched. This means that without a resistor on the running light ground lead to limit flow back to ground when the brake pedal is NOT engaged (in other words, in running-light mode), you'll have brake light brightness all the time.

The resistor mod is super easy to do if you can solder at all. A fairly detailed writeup was done on PRC Forum How-To section. I used the Autozone lights described in the PRC thread (I had already purchased them and discovered the issue) and added the resistor within the light itself, so I didn't have to touch the stock wiring.

It does save a fair amount of power draw, the reason that I did it. However, the front-facing LED bulbs are not as bright as the stock incandescent, since the reflectors within the actual light housing are not as effective.
