Kawasaki KLE650 Versys Headlight Bulb Size

The Kawasaki KLE650 Versys uses a 9003 and H7 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 2008 through 2022 production specifications.

Additional Notes

The H7 bulb is the dominant type across the Kawasaki KLE650 Versys headlight specifications, appearing in both the high beam and low beam positions for the 2008-2020 model years.
The H7 operates on a single-filament design with a PX26d base at 12V and 55W, conforming to the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, though it also carries approval in the United States and Japan.
Because the H7 is a single-filament bulb, separate units are required for the high beam and low beam functions on the 2008-2020 Versys, as each filament position serves only one lighting role.
The 2022 Kawasaki KLE650 Versys uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam positions, representing a distinct departure from the H7 fitment used in earlier model years.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb with a P43t base, rated at 12V with 60W on the high beam filament and 55W on the low beam filament, conforming to the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada.
The P43t base of the 9003 and the PX26d base of the H7 are physically incompatible, meaning bulbs from the two standards are not interchangeable between the 2022 model year and the 2008-2020 model years.
The 9003 consolidates both beam functions into a single bulb housing, whereas the H7 configuration across earlier model years requires two separate bulbs to cover the same dual-beam functionality.
