The main headlight bulbs are 9005s and 9006s and the foglights use a H3 bulb. Note that to replace all these will need 6 bulbs in total (three pairs)

finally ended up getting park light replacement from repco... they were listed as wedge (type W5W) instead of park (the park lights were bigger)...

Hi, i am wondering if the 80 bulbs watts would be too high for our headlights? it wouldn't burn the lines? thanks!

I use 80/100W bulbs in both dipped and high beam lights and have had no problems whatsoever.

I got it from Ebay. They are Koba bulbs, they are ok bulbs, I got 80 watts input for 9006, and 100 watt input for H3. It says output is 140watts, but i doubt it. I haven't put the H3 bulbs in yet, because i'm afraid it will burn the wires.
anyone can help??

So it's not the Maruta ones? 5000K or what? are the 80w 9006 working ok??
Im thinking of getting it too

YYgirl · Post by **YYgirl** » Sat May 10, 2003 9:24 am

Its not the Maruta ones, the brand is Koba. It's working alright, with 4800K. I thought it would be much brighter than 55watt bulbs, but I am not sure if that's the case. It is brighter of course, but not that much brighter, if you know what i'm saying. Because we have the case covering the headlight, I am wondering if we can take that off so it would be MUCH brighter? hehehe

Hey YYgirl How did you replace your H3 bulbs? I cant get the white plastic plug opened.. which encases the connection for this bulb.

beware of some of the cheap bulbs, because apparently some of them do not last very long...

i can't remember the exact brand to use, but usually the cheaper they are, the dodgier the quality...
