Honda Motorcycle VT750 Shadow uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 1998 to 2020 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 VT750 Shadow uses the 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across all model years from 1998 to 2020.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard halogen bulb recognized in the US and Canada. It operates on a 12-volt system and carries a dual-filament design rated at 60 watts for high beam and 55 watts for low beam output.
The dual-filament construction of the 9003 means a single bulb unit serves both the high and low beam functions, which accounts for its use in both headlight positions on the VT750 Shadow.
The 9003 bulb uses a P43t base, a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm collar. This base type is specific to the 9003 and its international equivalent, the H4, and is not interchangeable with single-filament base types such as P14.5t or P22d.
The 9003 and H4 share the same physical form and electrical ratings, making them functionally interchangeable in most applications. However, the 9003 designation reflects the ANSI standard, while H4 reflects the ECE standard used outside North America.
