1. What Is A 9006 Bulb?

The 9006 bulb is a car bulb used in vehicles. It is a type of single carbon bulb, also known as HB4 bulb. 9006 bulbs are usually used for the lighting of automobile low beam or fog lights.
The naming method of 9006 bulbs is based on the type and specification of the lamp holder. Among them, "9006" indicates that the lamp holder type is P22d, which is a double-contact socket. The voltage of the bulb is usually 12V, the power is about 51W, and the brightness is generally between one thousand and several thousand lumens.
9006 bulbs are commonly found in the headlight systems of many car models. If you need to replace or choose a 9006 bulb, please make sure to buy a bulb with appropriate brightness and good quality, and choose the appropriate power and color temperature according to your vehicle's needs.
