Victory Kingpin Headlight Bulb Size

The Victory Kingpin high beam headlight uses H11, H7, or H8 bulb sizes, while low beam headlight applications require H11 or D1R bulb sizes depending on model configuration. A replacement chart covering 2004 through 2012 production years documents the specific bulb size specifications for each model year.

The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.

Additional Notes

The H11 is the most frequently specified bulb across the Victory Kingpin's headlight positions. It is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 55W, built to the ECE standard and recognized in the US. Its base type is PGJ19-2, which is not interchangeable with other common halogen bases such as the PX26d used by the H7 or the PGJ19-1 used by the H8.
The Victory Kingpin uses the H11 for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions in 2009-2012, making it the only production span where a single bulb type covers both functions simultaneously.
The H8 is specified for the high beam headlight in 2004-2006. Although it shares the same 12V operating voltage and ECE approval status as the H11, it draws only 35W rather than 55W and uses the PGJ19-1 base, making it physically and electrically distinct from the H11 despite their visual similarity.
The H7 is specified for the high beam headlight in 2007-2008. It operates at 12V and 55W, matching the H11 in power output, but its PX26d base is a different fitment and the two types are not interchangeable.
For the low beam headlight in 2005-2009, the Victory Kingpin accommodates two distinct bulb types depending on the headlamp system installed. Vehicles equipped with HID headlamps use the D1R, while those with halogen capsule headlamps use the H11. These two options reflect fundamentally different lighting technologies and are not substitutable for one another.
The D1R is an HID (xenon) discharge bulb operating at 85V and 35W, a voltage level far beyond the 12V supply used by the halogen types in these specifications. It incorporates an integral ignitor and uses a PK32d-3 base specifically designed for reflector-type housings, distinguishing it from projector-compatible HID variants.
The high beam headlight follows a three-phase bulb progression across the Kingpin's production run: H8 in 2004-2006, H7 in 2007-2008, and H11 in 2009-2012. Each transition involves a change in base type, meaning bulbs from one phase are not direct replacements for another.
The low beam headlight for 2004 uses the H11 without any conditional fitment note, indicating a single halogen configuration for that year, in contrast to the dual-option entries that appear for 2005-2009.
