It's rated 60\/55 watts at 12 volts, puts out 1500\/910 lumens, and it's DOT approved for street use. Drops straight into any 9003, HB2, or H4 socket on a keyed P43T base. Sold as a single bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9003\/HB2 is one of the most common headlight bulbs out there, and this is Hella's version of it. If your vehicle runs a single dual-filament headlight bulb per side, odds are good this is the one you need. It covers both your high beam and your low beam from a single bulb, which is why you'll see it listed with two wattage numbers. 60 watts on high, 55 watts on low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing people get tripped up on. 9003, HB2, and H4 are all the same bulb. The industry just uses different names for it depending on who's doing the labeling. So if your old bulb is stamped H4 or HB2 and this one says 9003, don't second-guess it. They're interchangeable. Same P43T base, same filament layout, same fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a 12-volt halogen, rated at 1500 lumens on high beam and 910 on low. That's standard output for this bulb type, the warm white light most drivers are used to. And it's DOT approved, so it's legal for street use. No off-road-only restriction on this one. You can run it on public roads without worrying about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is simple and that's a good thing. Dual filament means one filament fires for your low beam and a second, brighter one kicks in for high beam, all inside one glass envelope. The T4.6 envelope is compact, so it drops into the stock reflector housing without any trouble. The P43T base is keyed, so it only seats one way. Line up the tabs, push, twist, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few install notes worth passing along. Don't touch the glass with your bare fingers. The oils from your skin create hot spots on a halogen envelope and shorten the bulb's life. If you do touch it, wipe it down with rubbing alcohol before you power it up. Handle it by the metal base and you'll be fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'd also suggest replacing both sides at the same time. Headlight bulbs tend to age together, so when one burns out the other usually isn't far behind. Matching a fresh bulb against a dim, years-old one leaves you with uneven light across the front of the vehicle, and that's both annoying and a little unsafe at night. This is sold as a single bulb in a blister pack, so grab two if you want to do the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure if your vehicle takes a 9003? Pull your current bulb and look for the stamp on the metal base, or check the back of the old packaging. You're looking for 9003, HB2, or H4. All three point you here. If your headlights use two separate bulbs per side, one for high and one for low, then you've got a different setup and this isn't your bulb. The 9003 is specifically the single-bulb, dual-filament design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more note on the numbers. The 60\/55-watt rating is the standard street wattage for this bulb, drawing roughly the same current your factory bulb did. That keeps your wiring, your relays, and your fuses all within spec. Higher-wattage versions exist, but they pull more current and run hotter, and a lot of them aren't street legal. This one keeps things simple and safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone replacing a tired or burned-out 9003\/HB2\/H4 bulb who wants a straightforward, street-legal halogen that just works. It's not an LED conversion and it's not a high-wattage off-road bulb. It's the standard-wattage replacement that matches factory output, which is exactly what most people want when a headlight goes dark. Hella builds these to a fit-and-forget standard, so you put it in, aim your headlights, and don't think about it again until the next one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60 watt high beam and 55 watt low beam, standard street wattage that matches factory output and keeps your wiring within spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12 volt halogen, for vehicles and equipment running a 12V electrical system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1500 lumens on high beam, 910 lumens on low, with the warm white light drivers are used to\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-filament design covers both high and low beam from a single bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9003, HB2, and H4 are interchangeable, so it fits any socket marked with any of those three codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeyed P43T base seats one way for a no-guess install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact T4.6 glass envelope drops into stock reflector housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDOT approved and legal for street use, no off-road-only restriction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single bulb in a blister pack, order two to replace both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Hella Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the 9003 the same as an H4 or HB2 bulb?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. 9003, HB2, and H4 are three names for the same bulb.
