Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing bulb base and headlamp type before ordering, since fitment varies by year, make, model, and beam position. This bulb is listed for high beam, low beam, and combined high/low beam applications depending on the vehicle, and some fitments exclude projector, xenon, HID, or LED headlamp systems. Handle the glass bulb carefully during installation and avoid touching the glass surface with bare hands.

• Confirm your vehicle’s headlamp configuration against the fitment list before installation.
• Check whether your application uses halogen capsule headlights or a different lighting system.
• Match the bulb base type, voltage, and wattage to the original specification.
• Test both beams after installation to confirm proper operation.
