| The center light on my 2013 is burned out already. None of the Polaris or Vic dealers or auto parts stores stock it around here so I went looking. Turns out the Honda Ruckus uses the same bulb and is their part# 34901-MJ6-732. The local dealer has it in stock.

| It doesn't, John. Its a halogen similar to the H4 in the other lights. This one is 35/35 and has a slightly different pin configuration. A H4 would fit but I'm figuring they must have had a reason for using the bulb they did so I replaced with the same one just a better quality. The original was Chinese and the one Honda uses is German.

Ruskin, Fl | It burned out in 2 weeks on my 2013. I couldn't find the bulb so went with the PIAA HS1 conversion kit. It's awesome. |

Manchester, CT | Hey Marc
How do you like the stock center light on your 2013? Is it worth stepping up to HID? |

Hey Marc
How do you like the stock center light on your 2013? Is it worth stepping up to HID?Actually I'm not using it anymore. I had the original one on all the time and it hardly lasted at all so I'm saving this one till I actually need it. I tried it at night and it didn't make a lot of difference. The HID is way brighter.

Stock cyclops (center) light on the '12/'13 Vision is halogen. 2011 was the last year for the HID. |

Central Maryland | I like the HID on my 2011 a lot. Since I've installed headlight modulators though; I don't run it as much in the daytime though.
I wonder why they discontinued the HID after the 2011 models? Cost? Something inherently wrong with them? |

Jasper, MO | I would guess they dropped the HID for the same reason they dropped a lot of the chrome that was standard issue on the early bikes and things like the gas struts in the saddlebags----cost.

| As I remember it they dropped the price by something like $2000 in 2012. Had to pay for it somehow.

He asked if you DO (present tense) like it, not DID (past tense) you like it. I was just trying to help him out. I'll butt out. |

Underwood, IN United States | Sounds like this bulb will not last. I have one out on my 2013
Dealer will replace tomorrow and I will ask why they will not last.
They will get tired of replacing them under warranty. I will not put out
the 5 bills for the HID but I do like the one on the wife's 2021 vision. |
