Arctic Cat 500 TRV high beam headlight bulb size 881 and low beam headlight bulb sizes 881 and 880 are specified in this data. The replacement chart covers 2003 to 2008 model years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Arctic Cat 500 TRV uses two bulb types across its headlight positions: the 881 and the 880, both of which are ANSI-standardized single-filament halogen bulbs rated at 12V and 27W.
Although the 881 and 880 share identical voltage and wattage ratings, they differ in base type. The 881 uses a PGJ13 base, while the 880 uses a PG13 base, making them physically non-interchangeable despite their otherwise similar electrical characteristics.
The 881 bulb serves both the high beam and low beam headlight positions on the Arctic Cat 500 TRV for the 2006 and 2008 model years.
The 880 bulb is specified for the low beam headlight position across the 2003-2005 model years.
The high beam headlight position has no listed bulb specification for the 2003-2005 model years, while the low beam transitions from the 880 to the 881 between the 2005 and 2006 model years.
As single-filament bulbs, both the 881 and 880 serve only one lighting function per bulb, which contrasts with dual-filament designs that handle two functions within a single housing.
