SmartWire Backup / Reverse Light Kit for Polaris Ranger (2015+)

The SmartWire Backup / Reverse Light Kit for Polaris Ranger (2015–current) is a plug-and-play reverse lighting controller designed for quick installation and reliable performance. Unlike traditional aftermarket lighting kits that require cutting wires, installing switches, or complicated wiring, this system connects directly to the vehicle’s diagnostic CAN port to communicate 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 the need for manual switches or complex wiring while ensuring accurate and dependable lighting operation.

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