Additional Notes

The Polaris 600 RMK uses two distinct brake bulb types across its model years: the 1157 and the 921, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 1157 bulb is a dual-filament type mounted on a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a wattage split of 21W for the primary filament and 5W for the secondary filament. This dual-filament design allows a single bulb to serve both a running light function and a brighter brake light function.
The 921 is a single-filament wedge bulb of the T15 form factor, rated at 12V and 16W. Unlike the 1157, it carries only one filament, which limits it to a single lighting function.
The Polaris 600 RMK (2001-2011) specifies the 1157 bulb for the brake light position across all eleven model years in that span.
The 1998-2000 model years specify the 921 wedge bulb for the brake light position.
The BAY15d bayonet base of the 1157 features two offset pins that prevent incorrect insertion, a physical characteristic that distinguishes it from the pinless wedge base of the 921. These two bulb types are not interchangeable due to their differing base designs and filament configurations.
