BMW Motorcycle R60/7 headlight bulbs utilize a 9003 size for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1976 to 1980 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 BMW Motorcycle R60/7 uses the 9003 bulb for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across all listed model years, 1976-1980.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard designation recognized in the United States and Canada, making it the North American classification for this bulb type.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single bulb contains two separate filaments to serve both high and low beam functions within one unit.
The bulb operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 60 watts on the high beam filament and 55 watts on the low beam filament.
The 9003 uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm collar, and fitment depends on this base type matching the headlight housing.
The 9003 is internationally equivalent to the H4 bulb designation; however, interchangeability between 9003 and H4 bulbs is not always guaranteed due to potential differences in filament positioning tolerances between ANSI and ECE standards.
