Does anybody have any recommendations for good headlights? The halogens aren’t cutting it anymore and one recently died so I figure it would be a decent idea to go to LED’s. I’d like to hear which ones are the best before I buy some.

I have an 08 that I changed the lights to led bulbs all around. They really weren't brighter than the halogens so I added a 12 inch light bar. The mounting brackets came perfectly centered on 13" which is where the front grill screws are. So no cutting or fabricating. I tied it into the headlight circuit but I may put it on it's own. It is soooo much brighter and you can position the beam. I'm very happy with it.

I already have a light bar and I don’t really need to use it that often. What headlights are they and where did you get them if you don’t mind me asking.

Yes the stock lights are terrible. I bought mine used with only 61 miles on it. The guy I got it from put these two 4 or 5 inch LED square lights mounted on the hood/fenders below where the roll cage comes down on the only flat spot you see. They make more than enough light for me IMO. My buddies have light bars mounted on top of the cage but both have had damage done to them from tree limbs etc. Depending on where you ride I guess. Here in PA we have many trees. In the desert I would guess those top light bars would be the ticket. He made them on their own circuit with the switch mounted with a toggle switch on the dash.

You'd think the top bar lights would be awesome for dune riding, but with all the dust it actually hurts your vision. I've heard adding Amber lenses helps a bit, but I only use them when parked to light up a section for other riders to be able to see.
For me, the 6" light in the grill has been the best addon I've done for night rides.
I'm also debating adding a front bumper and adding the little square lights pointed at the front wheels to help see where my wheels are actually going.

I got my led bulbs from Amazon but if you have high/low beam they won't work for you. That came on the 11-14 Rzr 800's and mines an 08. What a lot of people did back in the day was to use the XP900 led headlight conversion. You'd have to dig it up in the forums to find out the specifics but it was highly recommended. These days you can get something similar on ebay as a kit like this: FOR 11-14 POLARIS RZR 800 900 XP BLACK LED CONVERSION HEADLIGHTS KIT STYLE NEW | eBay

I'm sure they make just a bulb replacement but I don't have experience with those.
