1999 Polaris Sportsman 500 – LED Upgrade

Hi, my 1999 Sportsman 500 has dummy sockets where the low beam lights go for the headlights. Pricing the bulbs, it seems to make sense to just switch the pair of headlights out with LEDs. I found some decent ones rated for 36W. Any issues with that? I think the stock bulbs only draw 30w of power. Also, is there an aftermarket light harness adapter available for the stock socket connectors? I'd prefer not to cut them.
Thanks in advance!

New member with problem. Fuel?

Hoping someone here can help me out with my quad. 2006 Sportsman 700 EFI. Love the machine and use it often to maintain my mountain property. Will upload photos later.

Just had fuel pump replaced for the second time but quad still stalls out after half hour or so of use. Let it sit for a few minutes and it fires up again. Could it be the fuel filter? Mechanic said he had never seen such a dirty tank and there were brass shavings in the sludge. Old pump destroying itself?

Hello

Just bought a 2017 570 sp all matte black. Polaris front winch, polaris front guard, polaris rear guard, Polaris rear storage box.
Has many accessories but here are some things I want to add. I know you are all EXPERTS and this is my first ATV so any help is greatly appreciated.

1- Add rear back up lights for plowing and night use, as I will need to see behind me. I have heard that I can switch out my factory lenses and use polaris lenses with clear panel but that seems like alot of money just to get a small panel and wont put out much rear light. Maybe add on small LEDs that can hook to my back up switch. What do you recommend?

2- Plow. I need a plow, I just need a smaller unit, maybe 50" but I want ease of off/on connection. Warn, Polaris or something else? I will also use it for light work of pushing some dirt. I know Polaris is More $$ but is it worth it and better for machine due to frame connection ease?

2- Front additional LED light panel. Due to plowing I would like to add a LED for additional night use. Recommendations for something that can mount easily and hook up to my factory harness as I am not knowledgeable of detailed wiring issues.


THANK YOU for all your help everyone and I look forward to learning from all of you.
