The Yamaha XVS950 V Star 950 headlight bulb uses a 9003 size for both high beam and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2009 through 2015 production 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 XVS950 V Star 950 uses the 9003 bulb type for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across all model years from 2009-2015.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard designation recognized in the United States and Canada, making it the North American equivalent of what is internationally classified as the H4 bulb.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single unit contains two separate filaments that serve both the high beam and low beam functions within one housing.
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 serves both beam functions through its dual-filament design, the high beam and low beam positions in this motorcycle share an identical fitment requirement rather than using separate bulb types for each function.
