Additional Notes

The 9003 bulb is the most widely used type across the Polaris Classic's headlight specifications, appearing in the low beam position for all model years from 1993-1998 and in the high beam position for the 1993 model year.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 60W/55W output and a P43t base. The two filaments serve the high and low beam functions within a single housing, which is why it is used as a standalone unit in certain configurations.
The 894 bulb is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 37.5W, fitted with a PGJ13 base. Its single filament means it serves only one lighting function, which is reflected in its dedicated use as a high beam bulb.
Both the 894 and 9003 bulbs conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada, meaning they follow a standardized set of electrical and physical specifications within those markets.
The Polaris Classic (1994-1998) uses a split high beam and low beam arrangement, with the 894 handling the high beam and the 9003 handling the low beam. The 1993 model year uses the 9003 for both positions.
The 894 and 9003 bulbs use different base types, PGJ13 and P43t respectively, making them physically incompatible with each other's sockets. A bulb intended for one position cannot be installed in the other.
The wattage difference between the two bulbs is notable. The 894 draws 37.5W while the 9003 draws up to 60W on its high beam filament. Substituting one for the other would place incorrect electrical loads on the vehicle's circuit.
