Arctic Cat 400 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize HS1, 899, and 880 size specifications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2002 to 2015 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 400 uses three distinct bulb types across its model years: the HS1, 899, and 880, all operating on a 12-volt system.
The HS1 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 35W per filament, built to the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide markets, and fitted with a PX43t base. Its dual-filament design means a single bulb serves both the high beam and low beam functions simultaneously.
The 899 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 37.5W, conforming to the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada, and fitted with a PGJ13 base. Because it carries only one filament, separate bulbs are required for each beam function.
The 880 is also a single-filament ANSI-standard halogen bulb, rated at 27W, and uses a PG13 base. It draws notably less wattage than the 899, reflecting a lower output specification for the years in which it was used.
The Arctic Cat 400 (2014-2015) uses the HS1 bulb for both high and low beam headlights, with the dual-filament construction handling both functions within a single unit.
Model years 2006-2008 use the 899 bulb for both beam positions, while model years 2002-2005 use the 880 for both positions. The base types for these two bulbs, PGJ13 and PG13 respectively, are not interchangeable despite their similar designations.
The PX43t base of the HS1 is physically and electrically distinct from both the PGJ13 and PG13 bases, making cross-era substitution between the HS1 and either ANSI-type bulb incompatible without modification.
The wattage difference between the 880 (27W) and the 899 (37.5W) indicates these two bulbs are not electrically equivalent, and their differing base types further prevent direct substitution between the 2002-2005 and 2006-2008 model year fitments.
