Additional Notes

The 9003 bulb is the most frequently specified type across the Arctic Cat Pantera's headlight history, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions for the 1979, 1991-1994, 1996-1998, and 2015-2019 model years. It is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 60W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, fitted with a P43t base.
Because the 9003 bulb carries two filaments within a single housing, one unit serves both the high beam and low beam functions simultaneously in the Pantera model years that specify it for both positions.
The 1999-2005 Pantera models deviate from the dual-filament arrangement by using separate single-filament bulbs for each beam function. The high beam position takes the 894 bulb, rated at 12V and 37.5W with a PGJ13 base, while the low beam position takes the 885 bulb, rated at 12V and 50W with the same PGJ13 base type.
Although the 894 and 885 bulbs share the PGJ13 base, their wattage ratings differ at 37.5W and 50W respectively, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable despite the physical base compatibility.
The 1995 Pantera stands apart from all other model years by specifying the 9007 bulb for both beam positions. The 9007 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 65W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, fitted with a PX29t base.
The PX29t base of the 9007 differs from the P43t base of the 9003, making these two dual-filament bulbs physically incompatible with each other despite their similar operating voltages and overlapping wattage values.
All four bulb types specified across the Arctic Cat Pantera headlight positions conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, and all operate on a 12V electrical system.
The 1979 Pantera shares the 9003 specification with the 1991-1994, 1996-1998, and 2015-2019 model years for both beam positions, indicating that the same replacement bulb applies across those otherwise non-consecutive production periods.
