OPT-7 8″ C2 Series Light Bar Install

So I’ve been debating for a while on whether or not I wanted to put a light bar on my 900 S and finally pulled the trigger on an 8" CREE dual row spot/flood combo from OPT-7. I was after a few things:

1) Obviously more light for night riding.
2) An option that was budget-friendly, but not so cheap it would be ruined in a year. This includes a harness, switch, and mounting brackets.
3) Easy to mount in a protected location and maintain full functionality of accessories (flip-up windshield mainly).

Here’s the Amazon link where I bought it:

First things first, I’ll be mounting this on the front bumper brackets of the Polaris Extreme front bumper:

Here are some pictures of the light bar:

It definitely seems to be well made and use quality materials. Water-tight connections, 8 feet of harness wire, 40-amp relay, 30-amp inline fuse, and a toggle on/off switch.

I needed to change the terminal rings so they’d fit on my accessory busbar. The standard rings should be large enough for most battery terminals.

I used a lighter and didn’t like the charring of the heat shrink so I picked up a Harbor Freight heat gun for future use.

I’ll finish the install tomorrow or later this week since it’s about 20 degrees outside and I don’t have heat or good lighting in the garage, but I did quickly hook it up to test the lights and it’s impressive especially for an 8" bar.
