SmartWire Backup / Reverse Light Kit for Can-Am Maverick X3 (2020+)

The SmartWire Backup / Reverse Light Kit for Can-Am Maverick X3 (2020–current) is a plug-and-play reverse lighting controller designed for fast installation and reliable performance. Unlike traditional aftermarket lighting systems that require cutting wires, installing switches, or complicated wiring, this system connects directly to the vehicle’s diagnostic CAN port and communicates with the ECU.

The SmartWire controller reads ECU signals in real time and automatically activates reverse lights the moment the vehicle is shifted into reverse. This eliminates manual switches and complex wiring while delivering precise and dependable lighting operation.

This base kit includes the SmartWire controller and wiring harness only. Lights are not included, allowing riders to install their preferred reverse lighting setup.
