Yamaha XVZ1300 Royal Star Venture Headlight Bulb Size
The Yamaha XVZ1300 Royal Star Venture uses a 9003 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 1999 to 2013.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9003 is the sole bulb type listed across all headlight positions on the Yamaha XVZ1300 Royal Star Venture, covering both high beam and low beam functions for the 1999-2013 model years.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single bulb unit contains two separate filaments: one rated at 60W for high beam output and one rated at 55W for low beam output.
The 9003 operates on a 12V electrical system and uses a P43t base, which is a bayonet-style mount with a 43mm collar width.
Because the 9003 handles both high and low beam functions within one bulb, the XVZ1300 Royal Star Venture does not require separate bulb types for each beam mode.
The 9003 is designated as an ANSI standard bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, placing it within a regulated specification for electrical and photometric performance.
The 9003 is electrically and physically equivalent to the H4 bulb used in international markets; however, the two designations originate from different standards bodies, and substitution should account for base and connector compatibility specific to the motorcycle's housing.
