Additional Notes

The 9008 bulb is a dual-filament halogen type, meaning a single bulb contains two separate filaments that serve two distinct functions. One filament operates at 65W for high beam output, while the other operates at 55W for low beam output.
The 9008 designation follows ANSI standardization, which applies across the United States and Canada. This standardization ensures consistent physical and electrical specifications among bulbs carrying this designation from different manufacturers.
The 9008 uses a P26t base, which is a prefocus-style base designed to align the filaments precisely within the reflector housing. This alignment is critical to proper light projection and beam pattern performance.
The Arctic Cat HDX 700 XT uses the 9008 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2016-2017 model years. Because both positions share the same bulb type, a single 9008 unit handles the full range of headlight functions rather than requiring separate bulbs for each beam.
The 9008 and H13 designations refer to the same bulb. The H13 label is the international ECE designation, while 9008 is the ANSI equivalent used in North America. These two designations are interchangeable in fitment contexts.
