Arctic Cat DVX 400 high beam headlight uses an 881 bulb size while low beam headlight requires an 885 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2004 to 2008 with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Arctic Cat DVX 400 uses the 881 bulb for the high beam headlight and the 885 bulb for the low beam headlight across the full 2004-2008 model range.
Both the 881 and 885 are ANSI-standardized halogen bulbs recognized in the United States and Canada, each built around a single filament and sharing the same PGJ13 base type.
The PGJ13 base is a prefocus base design, meaning the filament is positioned at a fixed, precise point relative to the base to ensure consistent light projection within the reflector housing.
Although the 881 and 885 share the same PGJ13 base, they are not interchangeable. The 881 operates at 27W while the 885 operates at 50W, making the wattage difference a critical factor in fitment.
The higher wattage of the 885 in the low beam position means it produces more light output than the 881 used in the high beam, which is an atypical arrangement compared to many conventional lighting systems where high beam wattage exceeds low beam wattage.
Both bulbs operate on a 12V electrical system, which is standard for powersports vehicles in this category.
Single-filament construction in both bulbs means each unit controls only one lighting function, requiring separate bulbs for the high and low beam circuits rather than a dual-filament solution in a single housing.
