mrNewt,

The best part is if you reverse wire the low beams you can have all four lights come on as high beam, so you can get lots of light across the road, then replace all four 60w globes with LEDs you can pick extra power to run LED driving lights and other electronics.

Yep I've got mine wired that way as well. Make a big difference on country roads with no markings.

@MrNewt - No idea why in Canada and the US they are different, I'm guessing its differences in legation. It's like the rear indicators on New Zealand models are massive with a big red reflector around them as we have to have red reflectors on either side at the rear of the vehicle, the ones on the back of the front fenders are not sufficient here.

Sooooooooooooo... can you find replacement sets at your dealers?

Don’t know never asked, lol

@PistonBlown we have the same huge indicators as well as the Hella square white “reversing” light, looks bloody horrible above the numberplate light, though the previous owner took mine off.

That same thought had gone through my mind but then I thought about the $700 shipping and tax I ended up paying on a part I got shipped from Canada that cost $80 and I thought that probably wasn't a good idea

However I am going to see if I can get the part numbers for you as its probably more likely Can-am will still have some stock - the parts will probably be the same as the fog lights but the part numbers are likely to be different. I know that's the case for other parts e.g. the seats on an RSS

I've simplified the backend of mine quite a bit with a rear fender off a Kawasaki and led indicators - well except for the "beer barrel" aux-tank:



PS Just incidental what's in the background;-)

Oh man... that is such rip-off... was this from BRP or private seller? Did you know before hand or was it like a "Surprise!".
Damn, sorry to hear that .

Thank you - I will try and see if I can find them... lots of stuff in there .
Can you just add them to the cart and order them!?

 

[mrNewt]

Ha, I think I got all the parts in my list... but I see no Checkout ;(... eh well, I'll be hunting for the part numbers online then.

I finished off the driving light install today as I’m doing our winter FarRide next weekend and will be about five hours of night riding. I also installed a 12v/USB socket and well as a Ctek charger port. I had the lower light surround off so I got a picture of the part number for you.

 

[mrNewt]

Nice - thank you!
