The Polaris 440 headlight bulb specifications include 894 and 9003 sizes for high beam operation and 9003 size for low beam, with each bulb type serving distinct lighting functions. Replacement chart data covers 1993 to 1998 production years, documenting headlight bulb size requirements across this model's manufacturing span.
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 rated at 12V with a 60W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, 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, fitted with a PGJ13 base. Because it carries only one filament, it is dedicated to a single lighting function rather than serving dual beam roles.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The low beam headlight position on the Polaris 440 uses the 9003 bulb across all listed model years from 1993-1998.
The high beam headlight position on the Polaris 440 uses two different bulb sizes depending on the model year. The 9003 appears in 1993 and 1997, while the 894 appears in 1994-1996 and 1998.
The PGJ13 base of the 894 and the P43t base of the 9003 are physically incompatible with each other, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable regardless of voltage similarity.
In model years where the high beam position takes an 894 and the low beam position takes a 9003, the two headlight sockets require different bulb types and cannot share the same replacement part.
