The Yamaha XV250 V Star 250 headlight bulb uses a 9003 size for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2002 to 2021 with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Yamaha XV250 V Star 250 uses the 9003 bulb size for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2002-2021 model years.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard bulb designation recognized in the United States and Canada, making it a widely available halogen type within North American markets.
As a dual-filament bulb, the 9003 houses two separate filaments within a single unit, which allows it to serve both the high beam and low beam functions from one bulb per headlight assembly.
The 9003 operates on a 12-volt electrical system and carries a wattage rating of 60W on the high beam filament and 55W on the low beam filament.
The 9003 uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm collar. This base type determines physical fitment into the headlight housing and is not interchangeable with bulbs that use different base configurations.
The 9003 bulb is functionally equivalent to the H4 designation used in international markets. Both share the same dual-filament halogen construction, 12V/60W/55W rating, and P43t base, though the designation used depends on the regional standard applied.
Because the same 9003 specification applies to both the high beam and low beam positions on the Yamaha XV250 V Star 250, only one bulb type is required to service the entire headlight assembly.
