Honda Motorcycle VF1100S V65 Sabre headlight bulbs utilize a 9003 size for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1984 to 1985 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 9003 bulb is an ANSI-standard halogen type used in the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a dual-filament design rated at 60 watts for high beam and 55 watts for low beam.
The Honda Motorcycle VF1100S V65 Sabre uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 1984-1985 model years.
Because the 9003 bulb serves both beam functions in this motorcycle, a single bulb type handles the full headlight system rather than separate bulbs for each function.
The 9003 bulb uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style fitting with a 43mm collar, and this base type determines physical socket compatibility.
The 9003 shares its filament and voltage configuration with the H4 bulb, though the two differ in base design, making them non-interchangeable despite identical electrical output.
