Harley-Davidson VRSCA/VRSCAW V-Rod headlight bulbs utilize H9 size for high beam and H11 size for low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2002 through 2010 model 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 Harley-Davidson VRSCA/VRSCAW V-Rod uses the H9 bulb for the high beam headlight across all model years from 2002-2010.
The H9 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 65W, built to the ECE standard with a PGJ19-5 base, and carries approval for use in both European and US markets.
The low beam headlight on the VRSCA/VRSCAW V-Rod is fitted with the H11 bulb across the same 2002-2010 model year span.
The H11 operates at 12V and 55W, drawing 10 watts less than the H9, and uses a PGJ19-2 base under the ECE standard, with US market approval as well.
Although the H9 and H11 share a similar PGJ19 base family designation, their base suffixes differ (PGJ19-5 versus PGJ19-2), meaning the two bulbs are not interchangeable between the high and low beam positions.
Both bulbs are single-filament designs, so each headlight position relies on a dedicated bulb rather than a dual-filament unit handling both functions from a single housing.
