Arctic Cat Bearcat Widetrack headlight bulbs utilize 894 and 9003 sizes for high beam applications and 885 and 9003 sizes for low beam functions, with bulb specifications varying across model iterations. The replacement chart covers 1996 through 2008 production years and documents corresponding bulb size data for each vehicle generation.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Arctic Cat Bearcat Widetrack uses three distinct bulb types across its headlight system: the 894, 885, and 9003, all of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 60W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, mounted on a P43t base. Its dual-filament design means a single 9003 bulb serves both the high and low beam functions within one housing.
The 894 and 885 are both single-filament halogen bulbs sharing the same PGJ13 base type and 12V operating voltage. The 894 is rated at 37.5W, while the 885 is rated at 50W, making them distinct parts despite their shared base.
Because the 894 and 885 share the PGJ13 base, they are physically compatible with the same socket, but their wattage ratings differ. Substituting one for the other would alter the light output of the respective beam position.
On the Arctic Cat Bearcat Widetrack, the 2003-2008 model years use separate bulbs for the high and low beam positions, with the 894 designated for high beam and the 885 for low beam.
The 1996-2002 model years use the 9003 for both the high beam and low beam positions, reflecting a single-bulb dual-filament arrangement rather than the two-bulb system found in later years.
The P43t base of the 9003 and the PGJ13 base of the 894 and 885 are not interchangeable, meaning bulbs from the 1996-2002 fitment cannot be directly substituted into the 2003-2008 headlight housings.
