Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle headlight bulbs utilize H9 size for high beam and H11 size for low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2009 through 2017 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 VRSCF V-Rod Muscle uses the H9 bulb for its high beam headlight across all model years from 2009-2017.
The H9 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 65W, fitted with a PGJ19-5 base, and is rated under ECE standards with approval also extended to the US market.
The low beam headlight on the VRSCF V-Rod Muscle uses the H11 bulb across the same 2009-2017 model year span.
The H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 55W, fitted with a PGJ19-2 base, and carries the same ECE and US approval status as the H9.
Although the H9 and H11 share a similar physical form factor, their base types differ: PGJ19-5 for the H9 and PGJ19-2 for the H11. These two bulbs are not interchangeable between the high and low beam positions.
The 10-watt difference between the H9 (65W) and H11 (55W) reflects the higher output typically assigned to high beam applications relative to low beam use.
Both bulbs operate on a 12V electrical system, which is standard for motorcycle lighting circuits of this type.
The single-filament design of both the H9 and H11 means each bulb serves only one lighting function, which is why the VRSCF V-Rod Muscle requires separate bulbs for its high and low beam circuits.
