Polaris 600 RMK Headlight Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 9003 bulb is the most widely used type across the Polaris 600 RMK headlight specifications, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions across the majority of model years covered. It is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a high beam output of 60W and a low beam output of 55W, and it uses a P43t base.
• The 9008 bulb shares the dual-filament halogen design of the 9003 but uses a P26t base instead of a P43t base. It is rated at 12V with a 65W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, making its high beam filament slightly more powerful than that of the 9003.
• Because the 9003 and 9008 use different base types, P43t and P26t respectively, the two bulbs are not physically interchangeable despite their similar voltage and wattage ratings.
• The Polaris 600 RMK (2012-2016) uses the 9008 in both the high beam and low beam positions, while the 9003 fills both positions for the 2002-2011 model years.
• The 886 and 894 bulbs are both single-filament halogen types sharing the PGJ13 base and a 12V operating voltage. The 886 is rated at 50W, whereas the 894 is rated at 37.5W, placing them at lower wattage than the dual-filament types used in most other model years.
• The 2001 high beam position uses the 886 bulb, while the 1999 high beam position uses the 894 bulb. Both years retain the 9003 for the low beam position, meaning those model years pair a single-filament high beam bulb with a dual-filament low beam bulb.
• All four bulb types listed in the specifications, the 9003, 9008, 886, and 894, conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
• The 1998 Polaris 600 RMK uses the 9003 in both the high beam and low beam positions, the same pairing found across the 2002-2011 range.
