Arctic Cat TRV 500 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize an 881 size bulb for optimal illumination. The replacement chart covers 2014 to 2015 production specifications.
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 sole bulb type specified across all headlight positions for the Arctic Cat TRV 500, covering both the 2014-2015 model years.
The 881 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts and 27 watts, which places it in the lower wattage range typical of auxiliary and fog lamp applications rather than primary high-output headlighting.
It uses a PGJ13 base, a pin-type connector with a 13mm spacing that is not interchangeable with the more common H-series wedge or bayonet bases found in many other vehicle headlight systems.
The 881 carries ANSI standardization recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning units sourced from either market share the same electrical and physical specifications.
Both the high beam and low beam positions on the TRV 500 use the identical 881 bulb for the 2014-2015 years, indicating the vehicle does not rely on a dual-filament bulb to switch between beam modes.
Because the high and low beam functions each use a separate single-filament 881 bulb rather than one dual-filament unit, a failure in one beam position does not affect the other circuit.
