The Polaris 700 XC SP headlight bulb specifications include 9003, 886, and 894 sizes for high beam applications and 9003 size for low beam, with each bulb engineered to precise dimensions for optimal performance. The replacement chart documents bulb size data spanning 1999 through 2005 production years.
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 the high beam and low beam positions of the Polaris 700 XC SP for the 2001-2005 model years, as well as the low beam position for 1999-2000.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V with a 60W filament for high beam and a 55W filament for low beam, fitted with a P43t base conforming to ANSI standards used in the US and Canada.
Because the 9003 carries two filaments within a single bulb, it is capable of serving both high and low beam functions, which accounts for its use across both lighting positions in the 2001-2005 model years.
The high beam position of the 700 XC SP used different bulb types in 1999 and 2000 compared to 2001-2005, with the 894 specified for 1999 and the 886 specified for 2000.
Both the 886 and 894 are single-filament halogen bulbs sharing the same PGJ13 base type, though they differ in wattage: the 886 operates at 50W while the 894 operates at 37.5W.
Despite sharing the PGJ13 base, the 886 and 894 are not interchangeable with the 9003, which uses a P43t base. The base types are physically distinct and incompatible with each other's sockets.
The wattage difference between the 886 and 894 also means these two bulbs are not direct substitutes for one another, even though their base types match, as the power draw and light output differ between them.
All three bulb types listed in these specifications, the 9003, 886, and 894, conform to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada and operate on a 12V electrical system.
