The Ducati 749 headlight bulb utilizes a 9005 size for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 2003 to 2006 model years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9005 bulb type is used across all listed model years (2003-2006) of the Ducati 749 for both high beam and low beam headlight positions.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 65 watts, belonging to the P20d base family, and is rated for a nominal voltage of 12 volts.
The Ducati 749 uses the same 9005 bulb specification for both the high beam and low beam headlight circuits, meaning a single bulb type serves both functions on this motorcycle.
The 9005 bulb uses a snap-in, three-tab base that is not interchangeable with other common automotive base types such as H4, H7, or H11 without the use of an adapter.
Although the 9005 and 9006 bulbs share a physically similar housing, the 9006 tab configuration is positioned differently to prevent cross-installation, as the two bulbs differ in wattage and intended beam function.
The 9005 is also cross-referenced under the designation HB3, which is the designation used under ECE regulations, and the two references describe the same bulb.
The consistent use of the 9005 specification across all four model years (2003-2006) indicates no change in the headlight bulb requirement throughout the production run covered by these specifications.
