The Kawasaki EL250 Eliminator uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 1988 to 1992 model 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 recognized in the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a dual-filament design rated at 60 watts on the high beam filament and 55 watts on the low beam filament.
The P43t base is a three-tab bayonet-style mount, which physically locks the bulb into position and ensures consistent filament alignment within the reflector housing.
The Kawasaki EL250 Eliminator uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 1988-1992 model years covered in the specifications.
Because a single 9003 bulb contains both filaments, it serves the high and low beam functions simultaneously from one unit rather than requiring separate bulbs for each function.
The 9003 designation is the ANSI classification for this bulb type. It is electrically and physically equivalent to the European H4 designation, which shares the same P43t base and 60W/55W rating, making cross-reference between the two designations possible.
A fitment note of relevance is that while 9003 and H4 bulbs are interchangeable in terms of base and wattage, some aftermarket variants marketed under one designation may carry slightly different certifications, which can affect street legality depending on jurisdiction.
