Are there any lighting upgrades for these sleds? I got a 96 800. Is it possible to get those bright white lights for these?

i have a chance to buy one of these cheap with a blown motor, have under 3000 miles on it and supposed to be a pretty nice sled. i just bought a 96 800. what parts are interchangable? would it be worth my while, i could prolly pick it up for 500. i think he threw a rod. id be interested in it...
