The Ski-Doo MX Z TNT headlight bulb uses 9008 and 9003 sizes for both high and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2011 through 2019 production years 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 9003 bulb is a dual-filament halogen type operating at 12V with a 60W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament. It uses a P43t base and meets ANSI standards for the US and Canada.
The 9008 bulb is also a dual-filament halogen type operating at 12V, rated at 65W for the high beam filament and 55W for the low beam filament. It uses a P26t base and likewise meets ANSI standards for the US and Canada.
The primary distinction between the 9003 and 9008 bulbs lies in their base types and high beam wattage. The P43t base of the 9003 and the P26t base of the 9008 are physically different, meaning the two bulbs are not interchangeable despite sharing the same low beam wattage.
The Ski-Doo MX Z TNT used the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlights across the 2011-2018 model years.
For the 2019 model year, both the high beam and low beam headlight positions shifted to the 9008 bulb, which carries a higher high beam wattage of 65W compared to the 9003's 60W.
Because the 2019 model year uses a different bulb type than the 2011-2018 model years, parts sourced for earlier units are not compatible with the 2019 unit without confirming the base type.
