Additional Notes

The Polaris 700 Classic uses two distinct tail light bulb types across its model years: the 3157 and the 194, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 3157 is a dual-filament T25 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a power draw of 27W on the high filament and 7W on the low filament, making it suitable for combined stop and tail light functions within a single housing.
The 194 is a single-filament T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 3.78W, a significantly lower wattage output compared to the 3157, reflecting its role in lower-intensity lighting applications.
The Polaris 700 Classic (2004-2006) requires the 3157 bulb for the tail light position.
The 2001-2003 model years require the 194 bulb instead.
The T25 and T10 designations refer to the outer envelope size of each bulb, with the T25 being physically larger than the T10. These two bulb types are not interchangeable due to differences in size, wattage, and filament configuration.
The dual-filament design of the 3157 allows a single bulb to serve two brightness levels, whereas the single-filament 194 operates at only one fixed output level.
