  2. A 9004 bulb is also referred to as an HB1.
  3. A 9005 bulb is also referred to as an HB3.*
  4. A 9006 bulb is also referred to as an HB4.
  5. A 9007 bulb is also referred to as an HB5.
  6. H.I.D. bulbs are referred to as 9500, D1R/D2R, and D1S/D2S.
  7. H1, H2, H3, H7, H8, H9, H11, and 9008/H13 bulbs are usually referred to as such.

*A 9005 (65W) bulb may be substituted for the 9145/H10 (45W). Recommend Philips CrystalVision (9005CV) instead of the Sylvania Silverstar because eventhough both have the same performance, the Philips have a better rating with more light and a whiter color.
