Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bulb base type, voltage, and physical dimensions before installation. This bulb uses a W2,1x9,5d base and is intended for vehicles listed in the fitment data; confirm the original bulb matches the same style and rating before replacing it. For vehicles with special headlamp or lighting configurations noted in the fitment table, check the original application carefully to ensure the correct location and bulb type.

Because this is an incandescent glass bulb, handle it carefully during installation and avoid touching the glass with bare hands when possible. Confirm the clock or instrument light socket is clean and properly seated before reassembly.
