The Polaris 600 XC SP headlight bulb size specifications include 9003, 886, and 894 bulb options for high beam and 9003 for low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 1999 through 2005 production years with corresponding bulb size data.
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 XC SP headlight specifications, appearing in both the high beam and low beam positions for the 2001-2005 model years, as well as the low beam position for 1999-2000.
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. Its dual-filament design means a single bulb physically contains both beam functions, though in the 600 XC SP it is listed separately for each beam position.
For the 2001-2005 model years, the Polaris 600 XC SP uses the 9003 bulb in both the high beam and low beam headlight positions, making the same bulb type applicable to both functions during that period.
The 2000 high beam headlight uses the 886 bulb, a single-filament halogen rated at 12V and 50W with a PGJ13 base. This differs from the low beam position for the same year, which retains the 9003 bulb, meaning the two headlight positions require different bulb types in that model year.
The 1999 high beam headlight uses the 894 bulb, a single-filament halogen rated at 12V and 37.5W with a PGJ13 base. The 894 carries a lower wattage than both the 886 and the 9003 high beam filament.
The 886 and 894 bulbs share the same PGJ13 base type, but they are not interchangeable due to their differing wattage ratings. Installing a higher-wattage bulb in a socket rated for a lower wattage can cause heat damage to the housing or wiring.
The 9003 uses a P43t base, which is physically incompatible with the PGJ13 base used by the 886 and 894. No cross-fitting between these bulb families is possible without modification to the socket.
All three bulb types listed, the 9003, 886, and 894, conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating standardized electrical and physical specifications within those markets.
