Guys. It was brought to our attention that there was an error in the video. The lights need to be plugged into the accessory plug under the hood. With that being said if you have another accessory like the 12V you will need a splitter to run them all. RSI Racing makes the splitter you need to use. Sorry about that but It happens from time to time!!
Thanks Jesse & Bruce. I had trouble finding my 12v plug accessory plug. It was taped so tight and much that I couldn't tell. I would add that the plug is part of the hood assembly so is right next to the connector that plugs the hood electrics to the snowmobile when putting the hood back on.
Thank you both for posting videos like this. I just installed a set of punch lights and would have probably made a mess of it without watching this video. Sooo helpful. Cheers
Thanks for answering my questions at 10 pm! You always return messages! Plus you helped me get them working. These things are super super bright! You and Bruce do great videos. Known Bruce for 20 years. His knowledge is unbeatable.
Jesse One problem I just instead these.The 12 Volt plug powers the punch lights. They have to be plugged into the harness to work. My sled was ordered with a 12 volt accesorie outlet (looks like a cigarette lighter plug) so the 12 volt plug was already being used. Polaris dosent offer a splitter. I found one from race Inc. (RSI) It's the only way to use the lights and the 12 volt outlet. Poor planning on Polaris's part. Unless Bruce has a work around . I didn't want to cut and splice my wires.
Awesome vid. I think when the sled goes in for fuel tank recall its getting those lights. Also thanks for saying that there can be glitches such as fuses blowing. Have a dealer that tries to blame problems on the customer quite freqeuntly. Bruce is as honest as they come.
I know this is off topic but ask Bruce if he remembers the old Hooker Tracks ,we used to weld threaded plates to slide rail clips so studs could be directly threaded right into the plate! You want to talk about traction? Your slide rails hold all the weight of your sled!! 3 holes per plate if you broke one or wanted to run a different pattern you had three holes,Had this set up on my 89 Indy 650 I bought brand new, maybe we can try them in your old XLT??😂😂👍👍
According to the Polaris install sheet online that 2m connection needs to plug into the sled and it’s not an “extra” accessory plug as you guys say in the video
Yeah, Polaris made a new lousy head light but offers an accessory pair of lights for those who actually wants to see where they're going when it's dark ! I've got a 2022 Voyageur and I'm not at all pleased with my high beam light, it was way better on my Axys Swithchback ! I'm sure they are cheaper over there in the states, but over here in Sweden a pair of accessory lights are 700 dollars ! That's pretty steap I think ! So, Polaris makes headlights that shines like crap wich makes customers buy expensive original extra lights, and now I learn that they are delivered without instructions ! THANK YOU SO MUCH Polaris ! I guess they hope we will have the dealer to install them so it'll be even more expensive to us customers ! IMO Polaris should offer these lights FOR FREE with FREE installation to those who thinks the original high beam light isn't good enough ! Then they should re-design the headlight on future machines so it shines at least as good as the AXYS headlight does ! But of cause that's impossible ! It's better to make money on expensive accessories ! And don't get me started on this default tank gauge shit ! Obviously Polaris doesn't care about having pleased customers ! I think all this sucks actually !
@@JESSEJAMES322 If someone got the feeling I was aiming at anyone other than the manufacurer Polaris in my rant, he/she is either terribly wrong, or I'm a very bad shooter ! And in that case, I'm sorry for the accidental shot !
I have the puch light setup. Worked for a ride or 2 then went out. Found out it was a blown fuse. Changed it out. Just took my first ride this season. Realized it was out again. Where do I go from here?
No we have a million things going on and didn’t have time to show the difference. This was just to instal. And of I did a visual difference I would want the punch and flood side by side and we don’t have the punch lights yet
That one plug gets plugged into the other harness to power the lights Polaris does not have a jumper. If you do have a 12 V outlet in your compartment, you have to choose one you want to run.
@@JESSEJAMES322 thank you for letting me know if there is a splitter out there I will inform our customer I work for a very small Polaris Dealer I’m the only mechanic I watch your UA-cam channel for some tips and the contact that you do
Hey Jesse, love your videos! I'm new to Polaris after riding Ski-Doo for the last 22 years so I 've been watching all of your videos and I'm learning a lot from you and Bruce. I have a '24 XC 850 coming this fall (standard gage). I'm going to be putting in the Polaris 12v outlet to charge my phone but I'm also interested in the punch lights. I see below RSI makes an adapter to allow this to happen but I can't seem to find what (I think is the one) I need. Do you know the part number of the adapter that's needed? Thanks for any help you can provide!!!!
so the extra plug on the harness which come with light gets plugged in to the sled. is the plug on the sled labeled 12 volt acc or acc and where should I be looking? have two plugs that match. labeled logger switch and cable data don't think those are it thanks
no i believe the heated shield plug comes from a different power source. if you have a 12V (cigarette plug) in the consul of the dash you will need a splitter
2d barcode takes you to the instructions online. If the card isn’t in the box they should be letting Polaris know. Obviously wouldn’t send these without some instruction.
All these 7S displays come with a USB, can you tell me if that USB can be used as a cell phone charger in a emergency situation? Or is the USB strictly for updating the display? If it can charge then there’s no reason to have a dealer install 12 V plug to use as a cigarette lighter style cell phone charger.
@@JESSEJAMES322 that’s awesome, because I see no reason to get the 12 V accessory plug installed then because I heard if you’re going to use punch lights then you will also need a splitter to use the 12 V plug so probably not worth it since you can just use the supplied USB with a 7S display as a charger.
Did you plug the 12V into the 12V supply under the hood? We made an error in the video and where we did you have an extra 12V plug was wrong. Have to plug them into the supply which is tapped up under the hood with a blue cap
sorry but waaaaay too expensive ($500) for non adjustable lights when they sell more powerfull lights w complete wiring harneses w a switch .....no extra costs at all......for $80 on amazon. bought em and installed em on my 23 vr1 boost and love em. saved a but load of cash and i can adjust em where i need em.

Thank you, I was having a hard time finding this myself.
is this same as the rca acc power.? I hooked up a rca heated shield pkug so if that the same plug for power guess in will.need splitter
@@donhacker thanks! It was driving me nuts!
Did you end up getting a splitter? I am thinking about getting punch lights and have the rca plug set up for my heated shield as well
Thank you both for posting videos like this. I just installed a set of punch lights and would have probably made a mess of it without watching this video. Sooo helpful.

thank you! Thats what we are here for!

Happy yo help regardless of the time!!
Appreciate the detail on these vid’s. The fuel pump recall video, this one, all the suspension stuff, kudos to you and Bruce!
thank you for that! we are doing our best to bring the best videos!
Bruce's Top secret Lair?? That makes you Robin? 😂😂😂
Something like that yes!!

so this has been brought to my attention and Bruce was unaware if this so thats my fault. sorry about that. we do not have a work around yet!
Very nice... thank you!

they are worth it! and yes Bruce is brutally honest. hes here to be transparent and not lie!
I have this fog on my vr1 2022 and it lights up very well..🤘
fog in the headlights is very common unfortunately

we actually talked about the, at the BIG E show with the Woody's rep. I was blown away!
Thanks for the installation video 👍
Thanks for watching!!

Yes that was an error that was brought to our attention. sorry about that
I have been checking daily for your video on this!! Thank you beers on me!!
Well it’s here! And sounds good to me!!
Cool stuff bro! You may not know it but you guys are helping us make the wait a little tiny bit easier with the info vids!
I’m trying to. I know it’s tough waiting so if these help I’m all for ot
Awesome thanks. I got the punch ones here waiting
They are the way too go!
Think for almost $600 🇨🇦 they would come with frign instructions
Ya no kidding!
they give you a bar code to scan and it will bring you to the website with instructions but i agree

no i said it jokingly i know you were not shooting at me! Im just saying i get it i do!
Keeps the vids coming all great stuff for us po guys
Thank you! Lot to come
I have the puch light setup. Worked for a ride or 2 then went out. Found out it was a blown fuse. Changed it out. Just took my first ride this season. Realized it was out again. Where do I go from here?
check fuses first
These lights work awesome, rode at night breaking new sled in. Highly recommend if you ride at night. I’ll try and make video in next few weeks
love to hear that!
Punch or flood
Thanks guys!!!!
Of course!!
Looks like an electrical recall coming. Is that why we didn’t see a post install demonstration?
No we have a million things going on and didn’t have time to show the difference. This was just to instal. And of I did a visual difference I would want the punch and flood side by side and we don’t have the punch lights yet
Great video Guys!
Thank you! Hope It helps a bunch

I had the same issue. I ordered a splitter from RSI race Inc.
You’re 100% right. That was wrong on our part. Sorry about that. RSI has a splitter to use!!
@@JESSEJAMES322 thank you for letting me know if there is a splitter out there I will inform our customer I work for a very small Polaris Dealer I’m the only mechanic I watch your UA-cam channel for some tips and the contact that you do
RSI Racing makes the Splitter. Believe its $45 dollars. Thanks for following along. any questions ever let me know!
Cool, keep these awesome videos coming
Thank you!!
When the high beams are turned on is it just the punch lights that come on? That’s how mine work
when you turn the high beams on the high beams in the actual head light and the aux lights should come on

looks like you found it! any questions ever just reach out!
Love the vids. Can’t wait for my boost.
They’re coming!!
Hey guys, it looks like the RSI part number for the splitter is SPL-3 (POLARIS ACCESSORY POWER SPLITTER).
thats the one!
That would be why mine don't work..will have to c if I can find the plug..
plug is right on the bottom side of the hood!
so the extra plug on the harness which come with light gets plugged in to the sled. is the plug on the sled labeled 12 volt acc or acc and where should I be looking? have two plugs that match. labeled logger switch and cable data don't think those are it thanks
yes its on the bottom side of the hood. the cap has 12V acc.
At 200 miles i had to swap out my spark plugs on my 23 indy adventure 650 patriot
and?
Will these work on a 18 XCR…. Need more light and there’s no factory option.
They will not unfortunately. these are just for the Matryx
so if i am reading this correct i have a heated shield plug on my vr1 and to add these i will need a splitter?
no i believe the heated shield plug comes from a different power source. if you have a 12V (cigarette plug) in the consul of the dash you will need a splitter
Would it be a good idea to use some type of thread locker on these? Due to the vibration of the machine?
we do not believe so. they are extremely tight in there and we dont think they will be going anywhere
how much do the punches cost in canadian funds?
i am not in canada so i have no idea
2d barcode takes you to the instructions online. If the card isn’t in the box they should be letting Polaris know. Obviously wouldn’t send these without some instruction.
it was said as a joke but ive had over a hundred requests to do this video because there is no hard copy of the directions people were freaking out
@@JESSEJAMES322 beat us to it, and I knew you would! 😬

So is the original trim piece discarded-?
Yup just set to the side for when you sell It or whatever you want to do with it
Thanks
Hi Jesse ...I need help bad ...just installed and no high beam working and no flood lights working... what do I do next bought from Polaris.....
Did you plug the 12V into the 12V supply under the hood? We made an error in the video and where we did you have an extra 12V plug was wrong. Have to plug them into the supply which is tapped up under the hood with a blue cap
@@JESSEJAMES322 thank you I will do it now...and see
Working now ... really really bright 😎 thank you for all that you do
@@JESSEJAMES322 I plugged in to the power at the original light harness.......12V ACC power
Black cap tape around it
sorry but waaaaay too expensive ($500) for non adjustable lights when they sell more powerfull lights w complete wiring harneses w a switch .....no extra costs at all......for $80 on amazon. bought em and installed em on my 23 vr1 boost and love em. saved a but load of cash and i can adjust em where i need em.
Thats great. many want what the manufacturer offers. different people different needs
I love everything about it but only 2000 lumens for the for that exorbitant priceI’ve got a mountain bike that’s stronger than that!!!
ive seen pictures they really put off some light regardless of the lumen amount!
You left out the most important part, what they look like shining on the trail.
we didnt have time or a trail. This was just the install video!!
