The Polaris 550 IQ Shift uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2009 to 2013.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Polaris 550 IQ Shift uses the 9003 bulb for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2009-2013 model years.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single bulb contains two separate filaments: one rated at 60W for high beam output and one rated at 55W for low beam output.
Because both the high beam and low beam positions share the same 9003 specification, a single bulb type serves both functions in this vehicle.
The 9003 bulb operates on a 12V electrical system, which is standard for most powersport and automotive lighting circuits.
The 9003 bulb uses a P43t base, a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm flange that physically locks the bulb into the headlight housing.
The 9003 designation follows the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada. It is electrically and functionally equivalent to the European H4 bulb, though the two types differ in base design and are not directly interchangeable in all housings.
