The Ducati Monster 796 headlight bulb sizes consist of an H1 bulb for high beam and an H7 bulb for low beam operation. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2011 to 2014 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 Ducati Monster 796 uses the H1 bulb type for the high beam headlight across all listed model years, spanning 2011-2014.
The H1 is a single-filament halogen bulb with a P14.5s base, operating at 55 watts on a 12-volt system. Its single filament design means it serves only one lighting function per unit.
The low beam headlight on the Monster 796 uses the H7 bulb type, also consistent across the full 2011-2014 range.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb with a PX26d base, rated at 55 watts. It is physically distinct from the H1 and the two types are not interchangeable despite sharing the same wattage rating.
The H1 and H7 differ in base design, pin configuration, and housing fit, meaning a bulb intended for the high beam position cannot be substituted into the low beam socket, and vice versa.
Both the H1 and H7 are part of the internationally standardized ECE bulb family, which defines their electrical and physical characteristics for consistent fitment across vehicle applications.
The fitment of both bulb types remained unchanged throughout the entire 2011-2014 production span of the Monster 796, indicating a stable lighting specification with no mid-cycle revision to bulb type.
