Honda Motorcycle VF500F Interceptor headlight bulbs utilize a 9003 size for both high beam and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1984 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 9003 bulb is the sole bulb type listed across all headlight positions for the Honda Motorcycle VF500F Interceptor, covering both high beam and low beam functions for the 1984-1986 model years.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single physical unit contains separate filaments for high and low beam operation, which accounts for its use in both headlight positions within the same motorcycle.
The bulb operates on a 12-volt electrical system and carries a wattage rating of 60W on the high beam filament and 55W on the low beam filament.
The 9003 designation follows the ANSI standard as applied in the United States and Canada, and it uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm flange width.
The 9003 and H4 bulb types share the same physical form and P43t base, making them functionally interchangeable in many applications; however, fitment should be confirmed against the specific socket and housing of the VF500F Interceptor before substitution.
