The Arctic Cat ZR 800 uses two distinct bulb types across its headlight system for the 2001-2003 model years: the 894 for high beam and the 885 for low beam.
Both the 894 and 885 are ANSI-standardized bulb types recognized in the United States and Canada, each built on a single-filament halogen design with a PGJ13 base.
The shared PGJ13 base between the 894 and 885 means the two bulbs are physically similar in mounting, yet they are not interchangeable due to differing wattage ratings.
The 894 high beam bulb operates at 12V and 37.5W, while the 885 low beam bulb operates at 12V and 50W, making the low beam the higher-wattage unit in this application.
A single-filament construction means each bulb serves only one lighting function, which is why separate bulb types are required for high and low beam positions rather than a dual-filament alternative.
The wattage difference between the two bulbs reflects their respective roles, with the 50W low beam drawing more power to sustain the primary driving light output used during normal operation.
