The 9006 headlight bulb is a type of halogen bulb commonly used in automotive headlights. Here are the key characteristics and differences between 9006 and 9005 bulbs:

9006 Headlight Bulb:

Application: The 9006 bulb is primarily used as a low beam or fog light bulb in vehicles equipped with separate high and low beam headlights. It is not typically used as a high beam bulb.

Specifications: The 9006 bulb operates at 12 volts and has a specific electrical pin configuration and base type. It is designed to fit into sockets that are compatible with 9006 bulbs.

Brightness and Color Temperature: 9006 bulbs are available in various brightness levels (measured in lumens) and color temperatures (measured in Kelvin). They typically produce a warmer light compared to high beam bulbs like 9005.

Compatibility: When replacing bulbs, ensure that the 9006 bulbs you choose are compatible with your vehicle's make, model, and year. Check for any specific requirements related to wattage and bulb type.

Differences from 9005 LED Bulbs:

LED Technology: Unlike 9006 halogen bulbs, 9005 LED bulbs utilize LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology. LED bulbs offer several advantages over halogen bulbs, including higher brightness, energy efficiency, and longer lifespan.

Functionality: 9005 LED bulbs are typically used as high beam headlights or in applications where brighter light and energy efficiency are desired. They produce whiter light and can often be found in various color temperatures to suit different preferences.

Energy Efficiency and Longevity: LED bulbs consume less power than halogen bulbs while providing equivalent or superior illumination. They also have a longer lifespan, lasting tens of thousands of hours compared to halogen bulbs which typically last around 500-1000 hours.

In summary, the main difference between 9006 halogen bulbs and 9005 LED bulbs lies in their technology, application, and performance characteristics. 9006 bulbs are halogen low beam or fog light bulbs, whereas 9005 bulbs are LED high beam bulbs known for their brightness, energy efficiency, and longevity. When choosing between them, consider your specific lighting needs, vehicle requirements, and preferences for light output and color temperature.
