The Polaris 340 Touring uses a 9003 bulb size for both high and low beam headlight applications, with an alternative 894 size available for high beam operation. The replacement chart covers 1999 through 2007 production years and details bulb size specifications for headlight configurations across this range.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9003 bulb is a dual-filament halogen type operating at 12V with a 60W filament for high beam and a 55W filament for low beam, fitted with a P43t base. Its dual-filament design allows a single bulb to serve both beam functions within one housing.
The 894 bulb is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 37.5W, using a PGJ13 base. Unlike the 9003, it is dedicated to one light function only, as it contains no secondary filament.
Both the 9003 and 894 are ANSI-standardized bulbs recognized across the United States and Canada, meaning their electrical and physical specifications conform to a defined industry standard rather than a proprietary format.
The Polaris 340 Touring uses the 9003 bulb for the low beam headlight across all model years from 1999-2007, making it the only bulb type present in that position throughout the full production span covered by these specifications.
For the high beam headlight, the Polaris 340 Touring (2004-2007) uses the 9003 bulb, while the 1999-2003 model years use the 894 bulb instead. These two bulbs are not interchangeable, as they differ in filament count, wattage, and base type.
Because the 9003 and 894 bulbs use different base types, P43t and PGJ13 respectively, a bulb from one group cannot be physically installed in a socket designed for the other without modification to the housing.
On 2004-2007 model years, both the high beam and low beam headlight positions share the 9003 specification, whereas on 1999-2003 models the two positions require different bulb types, one 9003 and one 894.
