Headlight bulb

[thoasag]

We are touring across country and have a headilght out. Can someone please let me know the number for the bulb. I could dismantle it to get the number but then I would have to reassemble it to go to the auto parts store. I presume that it is a standard bulb which I can get from a store and that I don't need to go to a dealer.

Thank you in advance.

Alan.

Bulbs..!!

manual has the part numbers but most are using the H7 single filament bulbs. Don't know about the 14's. You can also get brighter ones while your changing one you could do both. I use the xenon non hid type $29.95 a pair...:thumbup:

I don't think so, not for the RT anyway. The OEM are 9005/HB3 single filament. Remember this long discussion earlier this week? http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...HTS-IN-THE-NEW-RT-ARE-H-4&highlight=headlight

I think H7 are used in non-US/Canada bikes. H7 bulbs have connector tabs straight out the end of the bulb and metal base. HB3 have a right angle plastic connector. Maybe the GS and RS models use H7s.

Most auto parts co. Can look it up. I know O' Reilly can.

It depends on what year your RT is.

My apologies, our machine is a 2011 RT and the headlights are standard. I just need to replace the faulty bulb.

Not having a 2011, I can't say with any certainty. I have a 2014, and it uses a 9005/HB3 bulb, but I certain previous models used a different bulb. I would really want someone that has/had a 2011 RT to confirm for sure, because if the owner's manual for the 2011 is anything like the one for the 2014, the information in it is wrong. I googled it for you, but came up empty. :dontknow:

A belated thank you to all who replied, especially WasWinger who gave me the information which I needed. For the record I confirm that the OEM headlight bulb in my 2011 RT is a 9005.
