Arctic Cat Prowler high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize 881, 9007, or 9003 size specifications depending on model year. The replacement chart covers 1991 through 2015 production years with corresponding bulb sizes.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Arctic Cat Prowler uses the 881 bulb for both high beam and low beam headlights across the 2006-2015 model years. The 881 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 27W, fitted with a PGJ13 base, and standardized under ANSI specifications for the US and Canadian markets.
Because the 881 is a single-filament bulb, separate bulbs handle the high beam and low beam functions individually in the 2006-2015 Prowler, rather than one dual-filament bulb serving both roles from a single housing position.
The 1991-1994 Prowler uses the 9003 bulb for both headlight functions. The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb with a P43t base, rated at 12V with 60W on the high beam filament and 55W on the low beam filament, also conforming to ANSI standards.
The 1995 Prowler uses the 9007 bulb for both headlight functions. Like the 9003, the 9007 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, but it carries a PX29t base and is rated at 65W for high beam and 55W for low beam at 12V.
The 9003 and 9007 bulbs share the same wattage on their low beam filaments at 55W, but differ on the high beam filament, with the 9007 drawing 65W compared to the 9003 at 60W. Their base types are also distinct and not interchangeable with each other or with the 881.
The PGJ13 base of the 881, the P43t base of the 9003, and the PX29t base of the 9007 are physically incompatible with one another, meaning bulbs from different base families cannot be substituted across the model year groups without modification to the socket.
The 881 bulb used in the 2006-2015 Prowler operates at a significantly lower wattage than either the 9003 or 9007 used in earlier years, reflecting a different headlight system design rather than a direct generational upgrade of the same socket type.
All three bulb types in these specifications, the 881, 9003, and 9007, are recognized ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada, indicating broad retail availability across North American markets.
