The Yamaha VMX1700 V-Max high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize a 9003 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2009 to 2020.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Yamaha VMX1700 V-Max uses the 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2009-2020 model years.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard designation recognized in the United States and Canada, making it the North American equivalent of the internationally designated H4 bulb.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single unit serves both the high beam and low beam functions within one housing rather than requiring separate bulbs for each function.
The bulb operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 60 watts on the high beam filament and 55 watts on the low beam filament.
The 9003 uses a P43t base, which is a three-pronged bayonet-style mount. This base type is specific to the H4/9003 family and is not interchangeable with single-filament bases such as those found on 9005 or 9006 bulbs.
Because the same 9003 bulb specification applies to both the high beam and low beam positions, the VMX1700 V-Max headlight assembly relies on a single bulb to produce both beam patterns through its two internal filaments.
