The Polaris 600 XCR uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 1994 to 1998 production years with corresponding bulb size 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 an ANSI-standard dual-filament halogen type rated at 12 volts, with a high beam filament drawing 60 watts and a low beam filament drawing 55 watts. It uses a P43t base.
The Polaris 600 XCR uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 1994-1998 model years.
Because a single 9003 bulb serves both beam functions through its dual-filament design, one bulb physically handles the full headlight assembly rather than requiring separate units for each beam.
The P43t base is a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm collar, and fitment depends on this base type matching the socket in the headlight housing. Bulbs with differing base types are not interchangeable with the 9003 even if their wattage ratings are similar.
The 9003 designation is the ANSI classification used in the United States and Canada. The same bulb is sold under the designation H4 in international markets, and the two are electrically and physically equivalent.
