The Polaris M1400 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize an 886 size bulb for optimal illumination. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2015 to 2016 with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 886 bulb is the sole bulb type specified for the Polaris M1400 across both the high beam and low beam headlight positions for the 2015-2016 model years.
The 886 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it contains one tungsten filament enclosed in a halogen gas-filled envelope, which allows for a more sustained light output and longer filament life compared to standard incandescent bulbs.
The 886 operates at 12 volts and draws 50 watts, placing it in a moderate power range typical of halogen headlight applications.
The 886 uses a PGJ13 base, a prefocus-style base that positions the filament at a fixed point relative to the reflector, which is important for maintaining consistent beam alignment in headlight housings designed around that base type.
The 886 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating it meets a defined set of electrical and dimensional requirements established for North American markets.
Because the same 886 bulb is specified for both the high beam and low beam positions on the Polaris M1400, the vehicle does not use a dual-filament bulb to serve both functions; each beam position relies on a separate single-filament unit.
Substituting a bulb with a different base type in place of the PGJ13 886 would not be compatible with the M1400 headlight housing, as the base geometry determines how the bulb seats and aligns within the socket.
