Why Every UTV Rider Needs a Turn Signal Kit (Even Off-Road)

Trail-Ready and Street-Smart

UTV enthusiasts know that off-road riding is about more than just power and terrain—safety, communication, and legal compliance matter too. One of the simplest yet most impactful upgrades a rider can make to their vehicle is adding a high-quality turn signal kit. Whether you are heading down the trail, cruising the campground, or looking to make your machine street legal, a turn signal system is not just smart—it is essential.


At Current River UTV, we specialize in plug-and-play signal kits built with the off-road lifestyle in mind. Let us break down why these kits matter, how they function, and which models are leading the way.


The Safety Factor: Visibility Saves Lives

UTVs are often driven in low-visibility conditions—dust, dusk, or forest trails. Unlike on the highway, riders do not have the benefit of traffic signs or predictable behavior. In these conditions, communicating intentions is critical. A quality turn signal kit provides front and rear indicators that make your next move clear—reducing the risk of accidents on tight turns, at trail crossings, or in busy staging areas.

What Makes a Turn Signal Kit Great?

Not all signal kits are created equal. Cheap kits rely on crimped connectors that fail easily when exposed to dirt, vibration, or moisture. That is why every kit offered by Current River UTV features:


  • Soldered and waterproofed harness connections
  • Plug-and-play installation—no wires to cut, no holes to drill
  • OEM factory plugs for reliability and compatibility
  • Ultra-bright aluminum LED light bars with white running lights and sequential amber turn signals


These features provide not only functionality but long-term durability, even in the harshest conditions.

Street Legal Goals: More Than Just a Trail Machine

Many states now allow UTVs to be registered for limited on-road use. But that requires proper lighting—especially turn signals, brake lights, hazard lights, and a horn. Current River UTV’s kits cover every one of these bases.


Take the 2025 Polaris RZR Pro 1000 Turn Signals No Hole Kit for example. It fits both 2-seat and 4-seat models and includes:


  • A rugged all-metal column switch
  • Two 6” aluminum LED bars for front running lights and sequential amber signals
  • A bonus 3rd brake light wire, tag light wire, and auxiliary output
  • Speedometer arrow cluster integration
  • A horn and 4-way hazard system


Installation is completed in about two hours, using only basic tools. No cutting. No drilling.



For older models, the 2019–2022 Polaris RZR Pro 1000 Turn Signals No Hole Kit offers many of the same features with a slightly faster install time. Both deliver a clean OEM look with all the safety and functionality riders need.

Polaris Expedition Owners: Your Kit Is Here

Owners of the 2024–2025 Polaris Expedition will appreciate the newest evolution in UTV signal kits. Available with or without horn and hazard functionality, these kits offer:


  • A compact, metal column switch
  • Flowing amber turn signals and white running lights
  • New 12” tube-style LEDs for under-headlight brightness
  • Complete harnesses with soldered, waterproofed connections
  • Auxiliary outputs for rear accessories like whip lights or backup lights



These systems are engineered for reliability, with install times around two hours and no need for permanent modifications.
