Arctic Cat 300 headlight bulbs utilize HS1 and 880 size specifications for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2002 to 2016 with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Arctic Cat 300 uses two distinct headlight bulb types across its model years: the HS1 for 2010-2016 and the 880 for 2002-2005.
The HS1 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 35W per filament, built to the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide markets, and fitted with a PX43t base.
Because the HS1 carries two filaments within a single bulb, it serves both the high beam and low beam functions simultaneously, which explains its use across both headlight positions in the 2010-2016 Arctic Cat 300.
The 880 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 27W, conforming to the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada, and fitted with a PG13 base.
The PX43t base of the HS1 and the PG13 base of the 880 are physically incompatible, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable with each other.
The wattage difference between the two types is notable: the HS1 operates at 35W per filament while the 880 operates at 27W, reflecting a difference in light output between the two generations of fitment.
Both the high beam and low beam positions share the same bulb specification within any given model year, so a single bulb type applies to both positions on the Arctic Cat 300 regardless of the year in question.
