The Suzuki XL-7 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize 9008 and 9003 sizes. The replacement chart covers 2002 through 2009 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 XL-7 uses two distinct bulb types across its headlight specifications: the 9003 for 2002-2006 models and the 9008 for 2007-2009 models.
Both the 9003 and 9008 are ANSI-standardized dual-filament halogen bulbs rated at 12 volts, meaning a single bulb handles both high and low beam functions within one housing.
The 9008 carries a wattage rating of 65W for high beam and 55W for low beam, while the 9003 is rated at 60W for high beam and 55W for low beam.
The two bulb types differ in their base configuration: the 9008 uses a P26t base and the 9003 uses a P43t base, making them physically incompatible with each other despite their functional similarity.
In the Suzuki XL-7, the same bulb size applies to both the high beam and low beam positions for any given model year, which is consistent with dual-filament bulb design where one unit serves both functions.
The P43t base of the 9003 is wider than the P26t base of the 9008, so bulbs from the 2002-2006 fitment cannot be substituted into 2007-2009 housings, and vice versa.
Both bulb types are covered under ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating compliance with North American automotive lighting regulations.
