Arctic Cat 650 H1 Headlight Bulb Size

Arctic Cat 650 H1 high beam headlight bulbs measure 899 or 881 in size, while low beam bulbs measure 880 or 881, with each bulb type serving distinct lighting functions. The replacement chart covers 2005 through 2011 production years and correlates vehicle model years to corresponding bulb size specifications.

Additional Notes

The Arctic Cat 650 H1 headlight system uses three halogen bulb types across its model years: the 899, 881, and 880. All three conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada, and all operate on a 12-volt electrical system.
The 881 bulb is the most widely used type in these specifications, appearing in both the high beam and low beam positions across the 2005-2009 model years. It is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 27W with a PGJ13 base.
The 899 bulb replaced the 881 in the high beam position for the 2010-2011 model years. It shares the same PGJ13 base and 12-volt rating as the 881 but draws more power at 37.5W, producing a brighter output.
The 880 bulb was introduced in the low beam position for the 2010-2011 Arctic Cat 650 H1. Although it shares the same 12V, 27W rating as the 881, it uses a PG13 base rather than a PGJ13 base.
The base type difference between the 880 (PG13) and the 881 (PGJ13) means these two bulbs are not interchangeable, despite their identical wattage and voltage ratings. Installing the wrong base type would result in an improper fit.
The 899 and 881 share the same PGJ13 base, but their differing wattage values (37.5W versus 27W) indicate they are not rated equivalently. Substituting one for the other in a socket designed for a specific wattage may affect performance or electrical load.
For the 2005-2009 model years, both the high beam and low beam positions use the same 881 bulb, meaning a single bulb type serves the entire headlight assembly during that period.
Starting with the 2010 model year, the high beam and low beam positions require different bulb types, with the high beam using the 899 and the low beam using the 880, making the two positions non-interchangeable from that point forward.
