Honda Motorcycle VF1100C V65 Magna Headlight Bulb Size
The Honda Motorcycle VF1100C V65 Magna uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 1983 to 1986 production 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 Honda Motorcycle VF1100C V65 Magna uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across all listed model years, 1983-1986.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard bulb recognized in the United States and Canada, operating on a 12-volt electrical system with a dual-filament halogen design rated at 60 watts on high beam and 55 watts on low beam.
Because a single 9003 bulb serves both the high beam and low beam functions, the two filaments within one unit handle both lighting modes rather than requiring separate bulbs for each position.
The 9003 bulb uses a P43t base, which is a specific bayonet-style mount. A replacement bulb must carry this same base type to seat correctly in the housing.
The 9003 and H4 bulb types share the same physical base and filament configuration, though they are governed by different standards bodies, ANSI for the 9003 and ECE for the H4. Cross-compatibility depends on the specific socket and housing tolerances of the motorcycle.
