Yamaha XVS950CT V Star 950 Tourer Headlight Bulb Size
The Yamaha XVS950CT V Star 950 Tourer uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 2009 through 2017 vehicle 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 XVS950CT V Star 950 Tourer uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the entire 2009-2017 model range.
The 9003 is an ANSI-standard designation recognized in the United States and Canada, making it the applicable reference for North American fitment of this motorcycle.
This bulb is a dual-filament halogen type, meaning a single bulb unit contains two separate filaments that serve the high beam and low beam functions independently.
The 9003 operates on a 12-volt electrical system and carries a wattage rating of 60W for the high beam filament and 55W for the low beam filament.
The base type is P43t, a standardized bayonet-style mount that determines physical compatibility with the headlight housing socket.
Because both the high beam and low beam positions share the same 9003 specification, the motorcycle uses a single bulb per headlight assembly to handle both lighting modes rather than separate bulbs for each function.
The 9003 bulb is interchangeable with the H4 designation, which follows the international ECE standard; both share the same P43t base and dual-filament configuration, though the ANSI 9003 label applies specifically to the North American market context reflected in these specifications.
