I used to fool around with aftermarket bulbs,,, with out much luck:plain: then in 99 when cat went to the three bulb setup it was MUCH better than the old Cyclops headlights since the early 90's . there prolly aint much we can do.... until Xenon tech comes to snomobiling!!!

if your headlight has an h4 bulb, you can upgrade to a higher output bulb.
many are h4's. im running a 80/140 wat bulb. 55/65 watt is stock. helped alot!
has lasted 2 years so far with no issues. i have my old one in my sled just in case the new one breaks. has been working for about 2k miles so far.

get a quality bulb like hella or piaa. no cheapies, they wont last. should be about $20 to $25 per bulb. made a huge difference on my old polaris single lamp system.
many colored bulbs are not legal in michigan, could differ in your state?

good luck

just make sure your lighting coil can handle the extra load. check your manual for coil output. Dont forget to add the load from your bar heaters and other lights to figure your total load and then you will know what you can safely add.

You can install flood lights in areas that need more illumination such as driveways, paths or an area where security is a big concern. There are also motion sensor lights which are very efficient against thieves and burglars.

Higher wattage or halogen bulbs (if you don't already have them) may help. The electrical system on a 600 should have no trouble making enough juice to run the extra wattage. You might also check to make sure your system is making 12 volts or slightly better too when the rpms come up. A well used coil can sometimes produce less as the insulation breaks down. Even more likely, sometimes voltage regulators begin to fail by over regulating the voltage.
