Arctic Cat Cheetah headlight bulbs utilize a 9003 size for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1991 to 1992 production 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 9003 is the sole bulb type specified for the Arctic Cat Cheetah across the 1991-1992 model years, serving both high beam and low beam headlight positions.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single bulb unit contains two separate filaments: one rated at 60 watts for high beam output and one rated at 55 watts for low beam output.
The 9003 uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style cap with a 43mm collar width, a standardized fitting common to dual-filament headlight bulbs in this category.
The 9003 operates on a 12-volt electrical system, consistent with standard 12V automotive and powersports vehicle wiring.
The 9003 carries ANSI standardization applicable in both the United States and Canada, indicating it conforms to a defined set of dimensional and performance criteria recognized across North American markets.
Because the same 9003 bulb type is specified for both the high beam and low beam positions, the Cheetah does not use separate single-filament bulbs for each function; one bulb per headlight assembly handles both lighting modes.
The 9003 is functionally equivalent to the H4 bulb type used in international markets, though the two designations reflect different regional standards bodies and should not be assumed to be interchangeable without confirming base and dimensional compatibility.
