Yamaha XVS1300A V Star 1300 Tourer Headlight Bulb Size
The Yamaha XVS1300A V Star 1300 Tourer headlight bulb uses a 9003 size for both high beam and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2007 to 2017 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 Yamaha XVS1300A V Star 1300 Tourer uses the 9003 bulb size for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the entire 2007-2017 model range.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard designation recognized in the United States and Canada. Its international equivalent is the H4, and both refer to the same dual-filament halogen bulb with a P43t base operating at 12 volts with a 60W/55W output, where 60W serves the high beam filament and 55W serves the low beam filament.
Because both the high beam and low beam positions share the same 9003 specification, a single bulb type serves both functions within one housing unit, which is characteristic of dual-filament halogen designs.
The P43t base is a bayonet-style fitting with a 43mm collar. This base type is not interchangeable with single-filament bases such as the H7 or H11, and substituting an incompatible base type would result in incorrect fitment.
The 9003 and H4 designations are functionally identical in terms of electrical and physical specifications, though the 9003 label follows ANSI naming conventions while H4 follows ECE conventions used in most other markets.
