The Aprilia RSV 1000 R headlight bulb specifications include H11 and H7 sizes for both high beam and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2005 through 2009 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.
The H11 and H7 bulbs specified for the Aprilia RSV 1000 R are both single-filament halogen types operating at 12V and 55W, sharing identical wattage and voltage ratings despite belonging to different bulb families.
The H11 bulb uses a PGJ19-2 base, while the H7 uses a PX26d base. These two base types are physically incompatible, meaning the bulbs are not interchangeable with one another despite their matching electrical ratings.
Both the H11 and H7 types are manufactured to ECE standards, giving them approval for use across Europe and worldwide markets. The H11 also carries US approval, and the H7 carries approval in both the US and Japan.
The Aprilia RSV 1000 R uses the same bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions in every model year covered by the specifications, with no separate bulb type assigned to either function.
For the 2006-2009 model years, both headlight positions require the H11 bulb with its PGJ19-2 base.
The 2005 model year requires the H7 bulb with its PX26d base for both headlight positions, representing a distinct fitment from the 2006-2009 configuration.
