Snowmobile LED Conversion Guide: From Halogen to LED
If you’ve ever ridden at night with stock halogen headlights, you know the struggle: dim yellow beams, poor trail coverage, and bulbs that burn out too soon. The good news? You can easily convert your snowmobile halogen headlight to LED for brighter light, longer life, and better visibility in extreme conditions.

How to Convert Snowmobile Halogen Headlight to LED
Upgrading to LED is a straightforward process if you choose the right kit. Here’s the quick breakdown:
- Choose the correct bulb type (H4, H13, 880, etc.) for your sled.
- Check your sled’s power system — DC sleds (like Ski-Doo) usually don’t need extra parts, while AC sleds (like Polaris & Arctic Cat) may require a rectifier.
- Remove your stock halogen bulb from the housing.
- Install the LED bulb with nitrile gloves to keep oils off the LED.
- Clock (rotate) the LED bulb to achieve the perfect beam pattern.
- Test your lights before hitting the trail.

Indexable Snowmobile LED Bulb Conversion
One of the most important features in an LED conversion kit is the ability to index (clock) the LED bulb. This means you can rotate the bulb inside the housing to match your sled’s reflector pattern. The result? A beam that evenly lights the trail without dark spots or blinding oncoming riders.

Snowmobile LED Conversion: AC vs DC Powered Sleds
Before you buy, it’s critical to know whether your sled runs on AC or DC power:
- Ski-Doo (mostly DC) – LEDs install without extra parts.
- Polaris & Arctic Cat (often AC) – Require a rectifier for stable LED performance.
👉 Not sure which system your sled uses? Here’s our guide on how to tell if your snowmobile has AC or DC power.

FAQ: Snowmobile LED Conversions
Do I need a rectifier for LED conversion?
Only if your sled runs AC power (common in Polaris & Arctic Cat). Ski-Doo typically doesn’t need one.
What’s the benefit of an indexable LED bulb?
Indexable (clockable) bulbs let you rotate them for the perfect beam pattern, reducing dark spots and glare.
Are LEDPowersport™ bulbs really all green?
Yes — heatsink, base, and collar are fully green. This is a unique design that makes our bulbs instantly recognizable and trail-ready.
Can I install a 130W kit myself?
Yes, but we recommend professional installation due to the high output. Lower wattage kits are easier for DIY installs.
