Collection: Automotive Halogen Bulbs

The easiest method is to check your vehicle's owner manual — it lists the bulb type for each lamp position. Alternatively, look at the markings on the existing bulb (H4, H7, H11, etc.) when you remove it. Online compatibility checkers (often provided by bulb manufacturers) can also look up the correct type from your vehicle's make, model and year. Always match both the base type and the wattage rating.

Yes — it is strongly recommended to replace headlight bulbs in pairs. Both bulbs age at the same rate, so if one fails the other is likely near the end of its life too. Replacing both at the same time ensures balanced light output and avoids the hassle of a second replacement shortly after. It also saves time if your headlamp requires significant disassembly to access.

Halogen bulbs have a quartz glass envelope that operates at very high temperatures. Oils and salts from skin contact create hot spots on the quartz surface, which can cause the glass to crack or shatter prematurely when the bulb heats up. Always handle halogen bulbs with clean gloves, a cloth, or hold them by the base connector only. If a bulb is touched accidentally, clean the glass gently with isopropyl alcohol before fitting.

LED conversion kits are available for many halogen lamp positions, but they require care. The reflector housing of a halogen headlamp is optimised for a halogen filament's light distribution — an LED emitter in the same position can produce glare or uneven beam patterns that may fail a KTEO roadworthiness test. If you want to upgrade, choose a kit specifically certified for road use and confirmed compatible with your vehicle's canbus system. For general interior or auxiliary positions, LED alternatives are typically straightforward. Browse our LED Bulbs range for options.

Always use the wattage specified in your vehicle's owner manual or on the existing bulb. The lamp housing, wiring and fuse are designed for a specific wattage load — using a higher-wattage bulb can overheat the housing, melt wiring insulation or blow fuses. "Performance" or "super" halogen bulbs that claim increased brightness at the rated wattage are fine to use, but avoid bulbs that exceed the vehicle's rated wattage for that position.

Standard automotive halogen bulbs have a rated lifespan that varies by type and application — headlight bulbs generally last longer under normal use than fog light bulbs that are used intermittently in adverse conditions. Factors that shorten life include vibration, moisture ingress, voltage spikes and physical contamination of the quartz envelope. Using the correct wattage and handling the bulb properly (no bare-skin contact) helps achieve the full rated life.
