Additional Notes

The Polaris 800 RMK headlight specifications cover three distinct bulb types across the 2000-2016 model range: the 9008, the 9003, and the 886, all of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 9003 is the most frequently specified bulb across this range, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions for the 2002-2010 model years, as well as the low beam position for the 2000-2001 model years. It is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 60W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, and it uses a P43t base.
The 9008 replaces the 9003 in both the high beam and low beam positions for the 2011-2016 Polaris 800 RMK. It is also a dual-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V, but it carries a 65W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, and it uses a P26t base rather than the P43t base of the 9003.
The base type difference between the 9003 (P43t) and the 9008 (P26t) means these two bulbs are not physically interchangeable, despite sharing a similar dual-filament halogen design and the same 12V operating voltage.
The 886 bulb is specified exclusively for the high beam position on the 2000-2001 Polaris 800 RMK. Unlike the 9003 and 9008, it is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 50W, and it uses a PGJ13 base.
For the 2000-2001 model years, the high beam and low beam positions use different bulb types: the 886 handles the high beam function while the 9003 handles the low beam, indicating a two-bulb headlight system for those years rather than a single dual-filament unit serving both functions.
From 2002 onward, both the high beam and low beam positions share the same bulb type in each respective model year grouping, consistent with a single dual-filament bulb handling both beam functions in one housing.
