The KTM 1290 Super Duke R uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 2014 through 2016 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 type specified across all headlight positions for the KTM 1290 Super Duke R, covering both high beam and low beam functions for the 2014-2016 model years.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single bulb contains two separate filaments: one rated at 60W for high beam output and one rated at 55W for low beam output.
The 9003 operates on a 12V electrical system and uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm collar.
The 9003 designation follows the ANSI standard, which is the classification system used in the United States and Canada.
Because the 9003 serves both the high beam and low beam positions on the KTM 1290 Super Duke R, a single bulb type handles the full headlight function rather than requiring separate bulbs for each beam.
The 9003 and H4 bulbs share the same dual-filament configuration and wattage ratings, though they differ in base design. The 9003 uses a P43t base while the H4 uses a P43t-38 base, making them physically non-interchangeable despite their electrical similarities.
