Hella 9007/HB5 Halogen Headlight Bulb 100/80W 12V
Hella 9007/HB5 Halogen Headlight Bulb 100/80W 12V — Product description
The Hella 9007/HB5 is a single high-output halogen headlight bulb, 100 watts on high beam and 80 on low, running on 12 volts with a warm 3200K clear beam. One dual-filament bulb covers both beams and drops straight into a factory 9007 housing. Built for off-road and auxiliary use where you want more light than the stock bulb delivered.
The Hella 9007/HB5 halogen bulb is a single replacement headlight bulb rated at 100 watts on high beam and 80 watts on low beam, running on a standard 12 volt system. It's a dual-filament design, so one bulb handles both your high and low beam from a single 9007 socket. If your vehicle uses the 9007 bulb type, also called HB5, this drops straight into the existing housing with no wiring changes.
Here's why the 100/80 watt rating matters. A standard 9007 bulb runs around 65/55 watts. This one pushes more wattage to the filament, so you get a noticeably brighter, longer throw of light down the road. That extra output is the main reason folks reach for these when the factory bulbs start to feel dim. It's still a direct swap, same base and same plug, just with more punch behind it. Worth knowing up front, though. High-wattage bulbs like this are sold for off-road, show, and auxiliary use. They aren't marked street legal, so check your local rules before you run them on public roads.
The beam color is clear glass at 3200K. That's the warm, slightly yellow-white you expect from a quality halogen. It cuts through rain and fog better than a cool blue-white tint, and it keeps road signs easy to read instead of washing them out. Clear glass also means no tint eating into your output, so you get the full light the filament makes. If you've driven behind a good halogen headlight and thought the light looked natural and easy on the eyes, 3200K is why.
This is sold as a single bulb, not a pair. One quick piece of advice from the shop. When one headlight bulb goes, the other side usually isn't far behind. Replacing both at the same time keeps your beam pattern even and saves you pulling the housing apart twice. So if you're ordering, it's smart to grab two.
Not sure if your vehicle takes a 9007 bulb? Pull your current headlight bulb and look at the base. It'll have three flat connector tabs and a three-pin plug. The old bulb is usually stamped 9007 or HB5 right on the metal base or the glass, and your owner's manual lists the bulb type too. Matching that number is what guarantees the fit, so take the thirty seconds to check before you order.
Installation is straightforward on most vehicles. Pop the old 9007 bulb out of the back of the headlight, line up the three tabs on the new one, seat it, and reconnect the plug. One thing you don't want to skip. Don't touch the glass envelope with your bare fingers. The oil from your skin creates a hot spot when the filament heats up and can shorten the bulb's life. Handle it by the base, and if you do touch the glass, wipe it down with rubbing alcohol before you power it on.
Hella has been building vehicle lighting for a long time, and these bulbs go through the same light-metering and quality checks as the rest of the line. The filament and gas fill are made to hold output over the life of the bulb rather than starting bright and fading fast. That fit-and-forget consistency is what you're really paying for with a halogen replacement.
So who's this for? Anyone running a 9007/HB5 setup who wants more light than the factory bulb delivered, and who's using the vehicle where a high-output, non-street-legal bulb is allowed. Truck owners, off-roaders, and show builds are the usual buyers. If you need a strictly street-legal replacement, this higher-wattage version isn't the right pick, and we'd rather be straight with you about that than sell you the wrong bulb.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a single bulb or a pair?
It's a single bulb. When you're replacing headlights, it's smart to order two so both sides match, since a worn bulb on the other side usually isn't far behind.
What does the 100/80 watt rating mean?
It's a dual-filament bulb. The 100 watt filament powers your high beam and the 80 watt filament powers your low beam, both in one 9007 bulb. That's higher output than a standard 65/55 watt 9007.
Will this fit my vehicle?
If your vehicle uses the 9007 bulb type, also called HB5, it's a direct fit. Check your old bulb or owner's manual for the 9007 or HB5 marking. The base has three flat tabs and a three-pin plug.
Are these bulbs street legal?
No. High-wattage bulbs like this 100/80 watt version are sold for off-road, show, and auxiliary use and aren't marked street legal. Check your local rules before running them on public roads.
What color is the light?
It's a clear 3200K beam, the warm white-yellow you get from a quality halogen. That color cuts through rain and fog well and keeps road signs easy to read.
Is this a 12 volt bulb?
Yes. It runs on a standard 12 volt automotive system with no converter or wiring changes needed.
Do I need to do anything special when installing it?
Don't touch the glass with bare fingers. Skin oil creates a hot spot that can shorten the bulb's life. Handle it by the base, and if you touch the glass, wipe it with rubbing alcohol before powering it on.
Is this a direct replacement or do I need adapters?
It's a plug-and-play replacement. The 9007 base seats in the factory housing and reconnects to the stock plug with no adapters or modifications.
