I am looking to see if anyone knows where to find LED bulbs for a 2016 Kodiak Eps. I want to replace all 3 but am having trouble finding anything for the 2016 model. All the fitments say from years 2007-2015. Are they still using the same bulb in a 16? Also does anyone make a LED bulb for the high mount one on the handlebars? Part numbers, links and any insight would be appreciated.
LED Bulb replacement

Here is an interesting thread about the handlebar light:

As for replacement of the OEM bulbs with LED I think you will only get the "looks" but not the functionality . The headlight reflectors are not designed to work with LEDs and you will get a non-focused beam of light out of them. Consider a LED bar add-on mounted to the rack or handlebars for real lighting improvement. The price of them is also coming down, so not to big of an expense and there are a few threads on here with folks who installed them with great results.

Here is another thread that gives u what you will need in terms of types of bulbs to order for the 3 front lights and the brake light as well.

Ordered mine from eBay. I am just waiting for them to arrive. When installed, I will fill you in on how they work, but as you'll read in the thread, same as what Rollin wrote, light is not as focused
These are the ones I decided on after looking around. Same ones as in the thread

What light bar did you get for it? Great look where you mounted it!
It's an Auxbeam 12 in light I got from Amazon and the mounts are tube mounts from Tractor Supply Co.

So installed my LED lights today that I ordered from eBay and as I said earlier I would update on this MOD. I believe they make a huge difference. IMO, they illuminate much more of the area in front of you but, I think if your looking for distance, then maybe not the best light for that application but they are still be better than the bulbs the Kodiak comes with now. If I had to compare, they remind more of a flood light than a spot light. For the trail riding that I do, tight winding trails, this will bet a perfect light as they light up everything right in front of you, again this is just my opinion.
If I did the photo upload right, the first pic is with the original lights, second pic is the new LED lights, or the brightest one is the LED. If I screwed it up, then ill try again. I know...newbs
