Suzuki Motorcycle DL1000 V-Strom ABS Adventure headlight bulbs utilize H9 size for high beam and H7 size for low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2014 through 2016 model 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 Suzuki Motorcycle DL1000 V-Strom ABS Adventure uses the H9 bulb for its high beam headlight across the 2014-2016 model years.
The H9 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 65W, fitted with a PGJ19-5 base, and is rated under the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, with approval also extended to the US market.
The low beam headlight on the same vehicle across the same 2014-2016 model years uses the H7 bulb.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 55W, fitted with a PX26d base, and carries ECE approval for Europe and worldwide use, with additional approval in the US and Japan.
The H9 and H7 bulbs share the same 12V operating voltage but differ in wattage, with the H9 drawing 65W and the H7 drawing 55W, reflecting the higher output typically assigned to high beam applications.
The H9 uses a PGJ19-5 base and the H7 uses a PX26d base, meaning the two bulbs are not interchangeable despite both being single-filament halogen types rated at 12V.
Because the H9 and H7 have physically distinct bases, substituting one for the other in either headlight position is not possible without modification to the socket.
