The Polaris Tran Sport high beam headlight uses an 894 bulb size while the low beam headlight requires a 9003 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years from 1998 to 1999 with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Polaris Tran Sport uses the 894 bulb for its high beam headlight across the 1998-1999 model years. This bulb follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the US and Canada.
The 894 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it serves only one lighting function. It operates at 12 volts and draws 37.5 watts, and it seats into a PGJ13 base.
The low beam headlight on the 1998-1999 Tran Sport takes the 9003 bulb, also an ANSI-standardized halogen type rated for use in the US and Canada.
Unlike the 894, the 9003 is a dual-filament bulb, which means a single bulb contains two separate filaments to handle two distinct lighting functions. It operates at 12 volts with a wattage rating of 60W for high beam and 55W for low beam.
The 894 uses a PGJ13 base while the 9003 uses a P43t base. These two base types are physically incompatible with each other, so the high beam and low beam sockets on the Tran Sport do not accept the same bulb.
Because the 9003 is a dual-filament bulb handling both high and low beam functions in many vehicle applications, its use here specifically as the dedicated low beam indicates the Tran Sport uses a split-function headlight system, with the 894 handling high beam duties separately.
