What voltage and wattage is this bulb?

How do I know if this bulb will fit my car?

You need to confirm that your vehicle uses an H3 bulb with a PK22s base. Checking your vehicle's owner's manual or the existing bulb is the best way to ensure compatibility.

Can I install this bulb myself?

What is the difference between a headlight bulb and a fog light bulb?

While both provide illumination, headlight bulbs are designed for general road visibility at various distances, whereas fog lights are specifically designed to cut through fog, rain, or snow closer to the ground to improve visibility in those conditions.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in its socket and the electrical connection is secure. Check the vehicle's fuse for the corresponding circuit. Verify that the vehicle's power supply is stable and matches the bulb's 12V requirement.

Premature bulb failure

Avoid touching the glass with bare hands during installation. Check for excessive vibration in the vehicle, which can shorten bulb life. Ensure the voltage supplied to the bulb is within the specified range (12V).

Dim or uneven light output

Clean the exterior of the headlight or fog light lens. Ensure the bulb is correctly oriented within the housing. Check the condition of the headlight reflector for signs of aging or damage.
