Polaris XCF Headlight Bulb Size

The Polaris XCF headlight bulb specifications include 9003 and 894 sizes for high beam operation and 9003 size for low beam, with both bulb types serving distinct lighting functions. The replacement chart covers 1999 through 2001 production years with corresponding bulb size data.

The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.

Additional Notes

The 9003 bulb is a dual-filament halogen type rated at 12V with a 60W filament for high beam and a 55W filament for low beam, fitted with a P43t base, and classified under the ANSI standard applicable in the US and Canada.
The 894 bulb is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 37.5W, fitted with a PGJ13 base, and also classified under the ANSI standard applicable in the US and Canada.
Because the 9003 carries two filaments within a single housing, it is capable of serving both high and low beam functions from one bulb, which is reflected in its use across both beam positions in the Polaris XCF for the 2000-2001 model years.
The 894 uses a PGJ13 base, which is physically distinct from the P43t base of the 9003, making the two bulb types non-interchangeable despite both being 12V halogen units.
For the 1999 Polaris XCF, the high beam headlight position takes the 894 bulb while the low beam position takes the 9003, meaning the two sockets accept different base types and wattages in that model year.
The wattage difference between the 894 at 37.5W and the 9003 high beam filament at 60W indicates a notable difference in power draw, which is relevant when assessing socket and wiring compatibility.
