Arctic Cat TBX 700 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize 9008 and 881 size specifications. The replacement chart covers 2014 through 2017 production years with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 881 bulb is the most consistently specified size across the Arctic Cat TBX 700, appearing in both the high beam and low beam positions for the 2014-2016 model years, as well as remaining an option for the 2017 model year in both positions.
The 881 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 27W, fitted with a PGJ13 base, and is standardized under ANSI specifications applicable in the US and Canada.
The 9008 is a dual-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V with a wattage rating of 65W on the high beam filament and 55W on the low beam filament, fitted with a P26t base, and is also an ANSI-standardized type for the US and Canada.
For the 2017 Arctic Cat TBX 700, both the high beam and low beam headlight positions list two bulb sizes, the 9008 and the 881, indicating that the vehicle may be configured with either type depending on the specific trim or build.
The 9008 is a dual-filament bulb capable of serving both high and low beam functions within a single housing, whereas the 881 is a single-filament type, meaning these two bulb types are not interchangeable despite both being listed for the same lighting positions in 2017.
The P26t base of the 9008 and the PGJ13 base of the 881 are physically distinct socket types, which reinforces that substituting one bulb for the other without a compatible housing is not supported by the specifications.
