Additional Notes

The 3157 is a dual-filament T25 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a split wattage of 27W and 7W, where the higher filament typically serves braking or running functions and the lower filament serves a secondary lighting function.
The 194 and 906 are both T10 miniature wedge bulbs operating at 12V, though they differ in wattage: the 194 draws 3.78W while the 906 draws 8W, making them physically similar but electrically distinct and not interchangeable.
All three bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The Polaris 700 XC SP used the 194 bulb across the 2000-2003 model years, representing the most consistently applied tail light specification in the available data.
The 2004 model year of the Polaris 700 XC SP presents a split fitment: the Adjustable Seat configuration requires a 3157 bulb, while the Fixed Seat configuration requires a 194, indicating that the two trim variants used different tail light assemblies.
The 3157 is a dual-filament bulb whereas the 194 is a single-filament type, meaning the two are not interchangeable despite both being wedge-base designs.
The 1999 model year used the 906 bulb, which shares the T10 wedge base form factor with the 194 but operates at a notably higher wattage, making substitution between the two inadvisable without confirming socket and circuit compatibility.
