The Ducati 848 headlight uses an H11 bulb size for both high beam and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2008 to 2013.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H11 bulb type is used across all listed model years of the Ducati 848, covering both the high beam and low beam headlight positions for the 2008-2013 production run.
The H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 55 watts with a standard PGJ19-2 base, designed for focused beam projection in dedicated high or low beam housings rather than dual-function applications.
The use of the same bulb type for both the high beam and low beam positions on the Ducati 848 indicates a projector-style or twin-housing headlight arrangement, where separate physical units handle each function independently rather than a single dual-filament bulb managing both.
H11 bulbs belong to the H8/H9/H11/H16 family, which share the same PGJ19-2 connector base. Despite this physical similarity, H9 and H16 variants differ in wattage and are not rated as drop-in replacements for H11 sockets without verifying housing heat tolerance.
The H11 specification remains consistent across all six model years without variation, meaning a single bulb part number applies to both headlight positions on any 848 produced during the 2008-2013 period.
