Hi guys!
It seems that Can Am has changed something in the wiring for the foglights. The connector no longer fits the normal LED replacement bulbs. :banghead:
Does anybody happen to know what bulb they are using now? A picture that shows the difference between the two different types of connectors would also be greatly appreciated!
Bob, does it call out the bulb type in the owner manual?Quote:

I would think suppliers of after-market LED bulb replacements would be on top of this.Quote:

My Dealership tells me that the wiring harness has changed, and the bulbs have a different (wider) plug...
I'm just looking for some verification, and some pictures, so that I can get some LED bulbs to fit... :banghead:
According to the breakdown on cheapcylceparts.com there are the H-8 and the HB-3 bulbs being used in the US models...:dontknow: would have to see to confirm but if not one then the other.....:thumbup:
You have that wrong. HB3 for everything except North America. H8 for North America.Quote:

There would be no way in hell a 65W bulb would be legal as a fog light bulb.

Now, they're listing H-8 as the correct one.
We're working on a solution...
:agree: H8 should be the correct bulb.
We're working on this...
H8 bulbs have been used for RT fog lights all along. Starting in 2010 to current. Not sure where you got the idea from, that it used to be H9. H9 bulbs are a 65 watt headlamp bulb and not a fog lamp bulb.Quote:

I'm trying to convince the others players in this game, of that. nojoke
Two Bulbs: Two different plugs... :dontknow:
Remove right fog light. Take a picture of the bike side plug. Should fit. Tight fit, but fits.
That's the premise that we're operating under right now... :thumbup:Quote:

I honestly don't know where they're sourced from... :dontknow:
The bike and the solution are in Walton at the dealership...:dontknow:
We did find a solution! :thumbup:
Since there was only a 1mm difference in the connectors: a little bit of work with some needle-nosed pliers got everything to line up!
We're back in business! :yes::yes::yes:
