The SSC1 LED Headlight Kit for the 2017-2025 Can-Am Maverick X3 replaces the factory headlights with six SSC1 LED Pods, delivering a significant improvement in lighting performance and a more aggressive appearance. This bolt-on, plug-and-play kit provides three distinct off-road beam patterns—SAE Fog, Wide, and Spot—for enhanced visibility in a range of conditions. Additionally, amber backlights offer DRL accent lighting when the main beams aren’t in use, seamlessly maintaining the Maverick X3’s factory DRL functionality.
Constructed with powder-coated stainless steel brackets and durable polycarbonate lenses, the SSC1 LED Headlight Kit is designed to withstand tough off-road environments. It is 100% engineered and assembled in the USA, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.
The following installation guide provides step-by-step instructions to install the SSC1 LED Headlight Kit on your Can-Am Maverick X3. Watch our installation video or continue reading for detailed instructions below!

Installation Instructions
Step 1 - Remove Factory Headlights
To begin, locate the factory headlights and disconnect the OE harness by lifting the clip and pulling it away. Repeat this process to disconnect the DRL harness. Using a 7mm socket and an extension, remove the inboard mounting screw and set it aside for later use. Switch to an 8mm socket and extension to remove the remaining three screws securing the headlight. Repeat these steps for both headlights.
Step 2 - Assemble SSC1 LED Pods
Place the universal bracket on each SSC1 pod with the tab facing the rear of the pod. Secure the bracket with the included bolt and locking nut, keeping the bracket level. Tighten it using a 5/32-inch Allen wrench and a 3/8-inch wrench. For the outer pod equipped with the SAE Fog optic, add the mounting bolt to the universal bracket, then attach it to the headlight bracket in the shown orientation, keeping it as far forward as possible. Use the included washer, lock washer, and nut to secure it.
Align the front fascia with the mounting bracket to check alignment and make adjustments as needed. Tighten the assembly in place with a 13mm wrench. Repeat this process for each pod, ensuring the Fog pod is in the outermost position, the Wide pod in the middle, and the Spot pod in the innermost position.
Step 3 - Install Assembled Headlights
Position the assembled headlight units into the mounting points on the vehicle. Secure the inboard top mounting position using the previously removed 7mm screw, being careful not to overtighten. Use an 8mm socket and extension to secure the lowest mounting point with an OEM black screw. Install two new screws into the remaining top mounting points and tighten them until snug, avoiding overtightening.
Step 4 - Connect Wiring Harnesses
Plug the included headlight harness in line with the OEM DRL connector and headlight harness. Starting with the innermost pod (Spot), connect the high beam output to the SSC1 Spot pod. Then connect the two low beam output connectors to the middle Wide pod and the outermost Fog pod. Ensure each connector locks into place with an audible click.
Step 5 - Test and Adjust
Test the headlights to confirm proper functionality. The amber backlight should activate with the parking lights, and the main beams should function as expected. If necessary, adjust the aim of each pod to ensure optimal lighting performance. Repeat the installation process for the opposite side headlight.
The installation is now complete. Enjoy your new SSC1 LED Headlight Kit!
