Those are "generically" # 894 Bulbs,,it's just a fog light bulb
It's a 800 Series Bulb,,,, a T-3 1/4 Lamp with a
PGJ12 Right Angle Base.
The PG13 is a Straight Base version,,,and is labelled 880,893,899 etc according to Watts and Life
(They're Interchangeable,,,sometimes it takes SLIGHT modification---trim the locking tabs)
899 are rated at 10X the life,,,2,000hrs vs 200hrs
Most auto parts should have them,,bring your old bulb with you & they can help match it.
It's Possible that even WalMart may have them in AutoParts section????
I never looked for them there,,so I'm not certain.
But it's NOT a unusual bulb,
Easy to identify by the sorta Unique appearance of the Globe standing Off the Base,,,mounted on the filament pins.

Here's a BUNCH on Ebay,,,all sorts of colors & Hype ,etc.
BEST SUGGESTION,,stick with a "Normal" Name Brand OEM Type.
The Snazzy ones are crap,,,,bulb life is short enough as-is on 800 Series lamps

Maybe useful in your hunt to note they list application as:

Sportsman 700 4x4 (05)
Sportsman 700 EFI (05)
Sportsman 700 MV7 (05)
Sportsman 800 EFI (05)
Xplorer 400L 4x4 (95 & 96)
..................................................................................
The Relay which controls Hi/Lo Beam switching is NOT in the Bulb.
It's an external part,,,controlled by Switch.
As You select Beam Choice ,,
The Switch triggers the appropriate contact set in the Relay,,,which in turn sends electricity to the Bulbs accordingly
Nothing "special" or Proprietary about the bubs,,,
they're just Fog Lamp bulbs
...............................................
IF You wanna fool with it,,
They are Tuff to find "locally" but I'm NOT Kidding about the Life of the 899 vs the other 800's
Sylvania:

Thing is,,,they are STRAIGHT BASE,
rather than Right Angle like your original 894's
Other than That,,they are "same"(supposed to be Direct Fit--sometimes require Minor trimming)
The Biggest "Catch" is SPACE.
Bulb's Straight Base itself is Barely longer,,but when ya include Wiring Connector plugged into It,,,
It's Way Long.
Thus,,,wont fit into a Shallow Lamp Shell w/o some ,,Uh,,,creativity.
The Trade-off for the dramatic increase in Life is a bit Dimmer Light Output.
Not Much less,,,but it IS less.
But NOT as Dim as a burned-out/broke filament 100 hour bulb.
One other thing,,,,
just a mention for general info's sake.
You original bulbs are 37.5watts.
That's "standard wattage" for 800 series.
There ARE some 50W ones available,,,,but they're all "low life" bulbs,,and Possibly too much electrical load for your system.
...........................
Here's Pics of the Bases,,,Straight & Right Angle.
If You can Determine the amount of Space/Room ya have in the Headlight,,,,
You MIGHT be able to shop for Either Bulb,,,and plug-&play.
