| TimS - 2010-02-10 7:58 AM Man314 - 2010-02-07 8:17 PM My Amber and Red 92 LED's came in. . Can you post the before/after A/B pictures of the rear tail-light lens? Are the red 92-LEDs brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs in the rear tail light? Bump +1, 2 & 3 !!! Thanks, Tim |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Sorry . . . been on the road alot lately. Here is 25 LED units (LH) vs. 92 LED units (RH). Pics don't do the brightness justice! 25 LED unit was close to brightess (maybe slightly dimmer) than stock incandescents.

| Are the RED 92 LED's brighter than the stock incondescent? Also, how long did it take to swap out the rear-tail-light LEDs (dissasemble and reassemble)? Thanks, Tim |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Tim,
Next time I'm "in there," I'll put the red tail lamp with incandescent and snap a picture. Swapping out bulbs and tail lamps was pretty easy. Couple of screws to remove silver "bumper," open up saddle bags, lift up and remove "M" shaped rear cover (this CAN be done with trunk still attached), remove a few screws to remove tail lamps, remove & replace bulbs, and reassemble. Maybe 30 min max. If you tap in a load equalizer, it may take a few more minutes. Try lighting up lamps before reassembly . . . if LED's don't light up, pop the LEDs out and turn 180 degrees, and pop back in to socket. |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Tim,
Here you go. I put old OEM red lamp with incandescents on RH and clear lamp with 92's LED's on LH. You can see pics both with brake lights on and off. I'm pretty happy with my LED's and clear combination. Haven't tried LED's with red lamp though. OEM color seemed deeper red, but not any brighter. Hard to get good pics (especially when we need to shrink them to load on site).

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Yeah, they were out of ambers . . . now reds! I haven't found any other place that stocks them. You should have seen the looks on the guys at AutoZone when I asked if they stocked 92's. They though I was crazy! |

Pittsburgh, PA | who was the guy that had the warranty repair denied because of LEDS installed? his dash green (N) light burnt out and when they went to file a warranty repair a rep was called in (part cost $800 for the whole dash) and even though the leds didnt cause the light to burn out the Rep said it did and the warranty was denied! they blamed it on tampering.... |

Lavon, TX | That would be me... I was past the one year factory (Polaris) warranty; it was the extended-warranty company (not Polaristar) that denied my claim. I did not even get to talk with the adjuster; he came to the dealership, took pics of my five blinker LEDs attached to each of the rear-view mirror housings, and denied the claim. Any bonehead can check the schematic and see that the green (N) is strictly driven from an isolated wire coming up from the transmission. The blinker system is totally independent - and still works fine. Not to mention that the green (N) went out long before I added those LEDs. This was merely an excuse for "the man" to deny an $800 (plus installation cost) claim. Did you ever get yours replaced? |

Peachtree City, GA | They are getting bad. I took in my wife's Vision. The local tech took pictures of the headlight holding water (1/2 full on the HID section), the chrome in the headlight also has a "wave" effect going on. The dealer submitted it and whom ever took it over from Polaristar - denied the claim... saying the headlight is a consumable item.
Let's just say, I was pissed and am still trying to work through it...

It sure would be a shame if some day you found a guy with extend warranty and had a beer or two and wound up letting him drive a way with the wrong gauge cluster the a dealer and showing then the N is out. Beer will do that to you. |

Lavon, TX | As it turns out, the excellent service manager (Brad Minot) at my dealership (Family Power Sports of McKinney) was able to get Polaris to "good will" a replacement dash for me - so, I once again have the green N! But, it appears that my third-party extended warranty is worthless... And I have to remember to manually add 23K miles to my odometer readings. |
