The Honda Motorcycle VT1300CS Sabre headlight bulb uses a 9003 size for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 2010 through 2014 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 VT1300CS Sabre uses the 9003 bulb size across both the high beam and low beam headlight positions for the 2010-2014 model years.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard bulb recognized in the United States and Canada, operating on a 12-volt system with a dual-filament halogen design rated at 60 watts for high beam and 55 watts for low beam.
Because both the high beam and low beam positions share the same 9003 specification, a single bulb type serves both functions through its two filaments rather than requiring separate bulbs for each lighting mode.
The 9003 bulb uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm collar. This base type determines physical fitment and is not interchangeable with sockets designed for other base configurations.
The H4 bulb is the international equivalent of the 9003 and shares the same dual-filament halogen construction and P43t base, though the 9003 designation reflects the ANSI classification used in North American markets.
