Additional Notes

The 9008 bulb is the most widely used type across the Arctic Cat HDX 500 XT specifications, appearing in both the high beam and low beam positions for the 2016-2017 model years.
The 9008 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 65W/55W output and a P26t base, conforming to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada. Its dual-filament design means a single bulb physically contains two separate filaments, each serving a different beam function.
For the 2017 model year, the high beam position lists both the 9008 and the 880 as fitment options, indicating that two different bulb types are associated with that position depending on the specific configuration.
The 880 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 27W, fitted with a PG13 base, and meets ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The 2017 low beam position similarly lists both the 9008 and the 899 as fitment options, again reflecting two distinct bulb types for that position.
The 899 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 37.5W, using a PGJ13 base. Although the 880 and 899 are both single-filament halogen bulbs at 12V, they differ in wattage and base type, making them non-interchangeable despite their similar appearance.
The PG13 base of the 880 and the PGJ13 base of the 899 are physically distinct connector types, meaning substituting one for the other is not supported by the fitment data for the Arctic Cat HDX 500 XT.
The 9008 bulb, by contrast, uses a P26t base, which is a separate base standard from both the PG13 and PGJ13 types, further distinguishing it from the 880 and 899 in terms of socket compatibility.
