HB4 9006 Halogen Headlight Bulbs | 9006 Headlight Bulb | HB4 Halogen Bulb Pair

Two halogen headlight bulbs with the HB4 fitting. They are sold as a pair so you can change both sides of the car at the same time. Nothing else is included, so no tools, clips or connectors come with them.

Yes. HB4 and 9006 are two names for the same bulb fitting, and you will see both used on packaging, in manuals and on the bulbs themselves. If your old bulb is marked either way, this pack matches that fitting.

The quickest check is to pull the old bulb and read the marking stamped on its base or collar. The owner manual will also list the bulb types for main beam, dipped beam and fog lights. Do not go by the look of the bulb alone, because several fittings look similar at a glance.

We list this product by fitting type only, so we can confirm it is an HB4 (9006) bulb and nothing more. We cannot say it fits a particular make or model. Confirm the fitting in your owner manual or on the bulb you are removing before ordering.

We do not claim an approval mark for this bulb, because we hold no approval document for it. If you need a bulb with a specific approval marking, check what is printed on the base of your old bulb and send us a message before you order.

Kelvin describes the colour of the light, not how much light there is. At 5000K the beam looks white rather than the warmer, more yellow tone of older halogen bulbs. A higher Kelvin number shifts towards blue, a lower one towards yellow.

Each bulb is rated at 12 volts and 51 watts. That is the standard arrangement for a 12 volt vehicle electrical system. If your vehicle runs on 24 volts, this is not the right bulb.

Bulbs that have been in service for the same length of time age at a similar rate, so when one goes the other is usually not far behind. Fitting a matched pair also keeps the colour and output even across both headlights. A mismatched pair is noticeable to you and to other drivers.

You can, and it will work, but the two sides will probably look different. An old bulb that has dimmed over time tends to read warmer and weaker next to a fresh one. Most people prefer to fit the pair.

Often none at all, since many headlight bulbs are held by a clip or a twist collar you can work by hand. Some vehicles need a screwdriver or the removal of a cover or air intake to reach the back of the headlight. Access varies a lot between cars, so check yours before you start.

Skin leaves a thin film of oil on the glass. When the bulb heats up, that spot heats unevenly and can shorten the bulb's life. Hold the bulb by the metal base or the plastic collar instead.

Wipe the glass gently with a lint-free cloth and a little methylated spirit, then let it dry completely before fitting. Do not use a greasy rag or a household cleaner that leaves a residue. It is a quick fix and worth doing properly.

Yes, halogen headlight bulbs get very hot in use. Switch the lights off and allow time for them to cool before you touch them or remove them. This is the single most common cause of a burnt fingertip during a bulb change.

If the fog light housing takes an HB4 or 9006 bulb, the fitting matches. Many vehicles do use this fitting for fog lights. Check the marking on the bulb currently in the fog light housing to be sure.

These are halogen bulbs with a filament inside a small quartz capsule. They are not LED bulbs and they are not HID. If you are specifically after an LED, this is not the product for you.

We do not quote a brightness figure for this bulb, so we cannot make a comparison. What we can say is that old bulbs dim over time, so a new bulb usually looks cleaner than the tired one it replaces. Colour temperature of 5000K also changes how the light reads to the eye.

Bulb life depends on how often the lights are used, vibration, moisture in the housing and whether the glass was handled cleanly during fitting. Keeping fingers off the glass is the one thing within your control.

Swapping a bulb for one with the same fitting should not change your headlight aim, because the bulb sits in the same position in the reflector. If your beams were already pointing too high or too low, fitting new bulbs will not fix that. Aim is set at the headlight unit, not the bulb.

Match the fitting first, then decide on the light colour you prefer. A pair like this one covers the common case of an HB4 fitting with a white 5000K tone. Buying two at once is almost always the better call than buying one.

These are rated at 51 watts, which suits a standard 12 volt circuit. Going above the wattage your vehicle is designed for puts extra load on the wiring and the headlight housing. Stick with what the vehicle specifies.

Halogen bulbs of the correct rating generally behave the same way the original halogen bulbs did on the circuit, so a warning light should not appear just because the bulb is new. If a warning stays on after fitting, recheck that the bulb is seated and the connector is fully pushed home. Contact us if you are unsure before ordering.

Leave it in its packaging until you need it, so the glass stays clean and the base stays undamaged. Keep it somewhere dry and away from loose tools rolling around a boot. A glovebox or a small parts box in the garage both work fine.

Yes, and it is a good moment to do it. A hazy or yellowed lens scatters light no matter how new the bulb is. Clean the outside of the lens with an automotive cleaner and dry it before you refit any covers.

Check the connector is fully pushed onto the bulb base and that the bulb is twisted or clipped fully home. After that, check the relevant fuse. If both sides fail at once, the cause is usually a fuse or a relay rather than the bulbs.

This is the bulb only. It fits into your existing headlight housing. No housing, lens, wiring or connector is included.

At 5000K the light reads white to the eye. Next to an older halogen bulb it will look cooler and cleaner. It is not a blue light, and it is not the deep yellow of an older standard bulb.
