Snowmobile LED Headlights: Best Picks, Yamaha Upgrades & Replacement Guide

Snowmobile LED Headlights – Best Options, Replacements, and Brand Picks

Upgrading to LED headlights is one of the most impactful snowmobile mods you can make. Brighter, longer-lasting lights not only improve visibility on night rides but also enhance safety in low-light trail conditions. In this guide, we’ll cover the best snowmobile LED headlights, Yamaha-specific upgrades, how to replace your factory bulbs, and the differences between halogen and LED so you can choose with confidence.

Snowmobile LED Headlight Replacement

Replacing your stock snowmobile headlights with LEDs is a straightforward process:

1. Remove the hood or headlight housing to access the bulb from the back (console side).
2. Wear nitrile or latex gloves during installation to protect the LED bulb.
3. Remove the old halogen bulb.
4. Insert the new LED bulb — making sure the socket faces forward inside the housing.
5. If your sled uses AC power, install a rectifier (Ski-Doo usually does not need one; Arctic Cat and Polaris often do).

Snowmobile Headlights – Halogen vs LED

Halogen:

• Lower initial cost
• Warmer, yellowish light
• Shorter lifespan (~500–1,000 hours)
• Higher power draw

LED:

• Crisp white light for better visibility
• Extremely long lifespan (~30,000+ hours)
• Lower power draw, easier on your sled’s electrical system
• More resistant to vibration and cold weather

For most riders, LEDs pay for themselves in durability and performance within a season.
