The KTM 690 Duke uses 9003 and 9005 bulb sizes for both high beam and low beam headlight applications, with the specific bulb size varying by model year. The replacement chart covers 2008 through 2016 production years and documents headlight bulb specifications for this motorcycle model.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The KTM 690 Duke uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the 9003 for 2013-2016 and the 9005 for 2008-2011.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 60W/55W output and a P43t base, meaning a single bulb serves both high and low beam functions through two separate filaments.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V, 65W, with a P20d base, meaning it produces only one light output level rather than switching between two.
On the 2013-2016 690 Duke, both the high beam and low beam positions call for the 9003 bulb, a function made possible by its dual-filament design.
The P43t and P20d base types are physically incompatible with each other, meaning a 9003 bulb cannot be installed in a socket designed for a 9005, and vice versa.
Both the 9003 and 9005 are ANSI-standardized types recognized in the US and Canada, indicating consistent manufacturing specifications across producers of these bulbs.
The 9005 draws 65W through its single filament, while the 9003 draws either 60W or 55W depending on which filament is active, reflecting the different power demands of each design.
