The Polaris 600 Touring headlight bulb size specifications include high beam options of 9003 and 886, while low beam applications use a 9003 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2000 to 2006 with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9003 bulb is the most widely used type across the Polaris 600 Touring headlight specifications, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions for the 2003-2006 model years, and exclusively in the low beam position across all listed years.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 60W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, fitted with a P43t base, and produced to the ANSI standard for the US and Canadian markets.
The 886 bulb is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 50W, using a PGJ13 base, and also conforms to the ANSI standard for the US and Canadian markets.
The Polaris 600 Touring (2003-2006) uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions, meaning a single bulb type serves the entire headlight assembly in those years.
For the 2000-2002 model years, the high beam and low beam headlight positions require different bulb types: the 886 for the high beam and the 9003 for the low beam, making the two positions non-interchangeable.
The PGJ13 base of the 886 and the P43t base of the 9003 are physically distinct socket types, which means the two bulbs are not interchangeable regardless of voltage compatibility.
The single-filament design of the 886 contrasts with the dual-filament design of the 9003; in applications where the 886 is used for the high beam, a separate bulb is required to handle the low beam function.
The shift from the 886 high beam bulb to the 9003 high beam bulb between the 2002 and 2003 Polaris 600 Touring represents a change in both base type and filament configuration for that position.
