The Polaris 700 Classic headlight bulb size specifications include 9003 and 886 bulb sizes for high beam operation and 9003 bulb size for low beam operation. The replacement chart covers 2001 through 2006 vehicle 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 prevalent type across these specifications, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions for the Polaris 700 Classic across the 2002-2004 and 2006 model years.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V with a 60W/55W output rating and a P43t base, conforming to the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada.
The dual-filament design of the 9003 means a single bulb contains separate filaments for two distinct light functions, which is why it serves both high beam and low beam positions in the same vehicle year.
The 886 bulb is specified exclusively for the high beam headlight position on the 2001 Polaris 700 Classic, while the low beam position for that same year retains the 9003.
The 886 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 50W, fitted with a PGJ13 base, and also conforms to the ANSI standard for the US and Canada.
The PGJ13 base of the 886 and the P43t base of the 9003 are physically incompatible, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable despite both being 12V halogen units.
The 2001 model year represents a mixed fitment configuration, where the high beam and low beam headlight positions require two different bulb types rather than a single shared type.
For the 2002-2004 and 2006 model years, both headlight positions use the same 9003 bulb, meaning only one bulb type is required to service the entire headlight assembly.
