2014 XP 1000 electrical issues

I’m having some weird electrical issues on my 14 XP 1000. I started noticing the flickering headlights and tail lights a few days ago, my MTX stereo is starting to also flicker on and off, and also the power steering is acting a bit shaky as in every now and then it will go out for like a split second. So not sure if this is all interrelated or not. Seems like some sort of electrical problem possibly the voltage regulator going out? Just wondering if anyone might have had similar problems. I’d like to avoid the hour + drive to the dealer if it’s something I might could diagnose and fix myself. Thanks.

Lighted rocker switch question

Hey everyone. Just installed a lightbar and some rear backup LED lights. Both are activated by 5 pin Contura style lighted rocker switches with 2 internal LEDs. The bottom that says "LED lightbar" and "Rear lights" is supposed to light up when the switch is off and both the lettering and the graphic of the light above lights up when the switch is on. The first one I did (the lightbar) lights up in this way but the rear lights switch seems to be backwards. The top graphic part is lit when the switch is off and the lettering comes on when the switch is on. I have both switches wired the same way so I’m not sure what I should do. Is something internal to the switch flipped around? Can I fix this by wiring it differently? I wired my switches like this.

Not exactly from my rig but I can get a new pic later tonight. I wired it like this and one lights up correctly and the other backwards. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I need help with my headlights

I have hid headlights on my 2011 rzr. I installed them about 3 years ago. Easy install they’re just plug n play. Today they flickered a little bit when I hit the switch, but they never fired up. I am dumb when it comes to electrical stuff. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe a ballast? How could you determine that?
