The Arctic Cat ZL 800 uses the 894 bulb for high beam and the 885 bulb for low beam across the 2002-2003 model years.
Both the 894 and 885 are ANSI-standardized halogen bulbs recognized in the United States and Canada, each operating on a 12-volt system with a single filament.
The 894 and 885 share the same PGJ13 base type, which is a prefocus base design that positions the filament at a fixed point relative to the reflector for consistent light output.
Although the 894 and 885 share the same base, they are not interchangeable between the high and low beam positions due to differing wattage ratings: the 894 draws 37.5W while the 885 draws 50W.
The higher wattage of the 885 low beam bulb reflects its role as the primary driving light, where greater luminous output is required for sustained road illumination.
Single-filament construction in both bulbs means each serves only one lighting function, which is why the ZL 800 requires separate bulbs for high and low beam operation rather than a dual-filament unit.
