The Ducati 749R uses 9005 bulbs for both high beam and low beam headlight applications, with identical bulb size specifications across both functions. Replacement chart data covers the 2004 to 2006 production years for this motorcycle model.
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 positions and model years for the Ducati 749R, covering both high beam and low beam headlight applications from 2004-2006.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 65 watts, designed for high-intensity forward lighting rather than dual-function use.
Because the Ducati 749R uses the 9005 for both the high beam and low beam positions, the two circuits rely on separate bulb units rather than a single dual-filament lamp.
The 9005 belongs to the P20d base family, a designation that refers to the physical base configuration governing how the bulb seats and locks into its housing.
The 9005 operates on a 12-volt electrical system, which is consistent with standard motorcycle electrical architecture.
The 9005 is also cross-referenced under the HB3 designation in international markets, though fitment compatibility depends on the housing design rather than the designation alone.
Some aftermarket 9005 variants are manufactured with slightly altered base tolerances, which can affect seating in housings originally specified for OEM-standard 9005 bulbs as fitted to the 749R.
The consistent use of the 9005 across all three model years indicates no mid-cycle change to the headlight system between the 2004 and 2006 production runs.
