Arctic Cat ZR 8000 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize a 9003 size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2014 to 2019.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9003 bulb is the sole bulb type specified across all headlight positions for the Arctic Cat ZR 8000, covering both high beam and low beam functions from 2014-2019.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single bulb contains separate filaments for high and low beam operation, which accounts for its use in both headlight positions simultaneously.
The 9003 operates on a 12V electrical system and carries a 60W/55W wattage rating, where 60W corresponds to the high beam filament and 55W to the low beam filament.
The 9003 uses a P43t base, a bayonet-style mount that physically determines fitment and is not interchangeable with bulbs carrying different base types, even if voltage ratings are similar.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical specifications rather than a proprietary format.
The 2019 Arctic Cat ZR 8000 carries a conditional note specifying that the 9003 fitment applies only to units equipped with Halogen Capsule Headlamps, indicating that not all 2019 units share the same headlamp assembly type.
The H4 bulb is the international ECE equivalent of the 9003 and shares the same dual-filament design and P43t base, though the two standards differ in their approved beam pattern certifications and are not universally interchangeable across all markets.
