The Polaris 700 SKS headlight bulb specifications include high beam sizes of 9003, 886, and 894, along with a low beam bulb size of 9003. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 1997 to 2003.
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 these specifications, appearing in the low beam position for all listed model years of the Polaris 700 SKS and in the high beam position for the 1997 and 2003 model 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 conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
Because the 9003 carries two filaments within a single bulb, it is capable of serving both beam functions independently, which explains its use across the full low beam range in these specifications.
The high beam position of the Polaris 700 SKS used three distinct bulb types across the listed years: the 9003 (1997 and 2003), the 886 (2000-2002), and the 894 (1999).
The 886 and 894 bulbs share the same PGJ13 base and single-filament halogen construction, though they differ in wattage. The 886 is rated at 50W while the 894 operates at 37.5W, making them non-interchangeable despite their physical base compatibility.
The shared PGJ13 base between the 886 and 894 means physical fitment alone does not confirm electrical compatibility, as the wattage difference affects output and circuit load.
The 2003 model year is the only configuration in these specifications where both the high beam and low beam positions use the same bulb type, the 9003, while earlier years pair the 9003 low beam with a different high beam bulb.
All bulb types listed, the 9003, 886, and 894, are halogen bulbs operating on a 12V system and conform to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
