You get factory-spec 60\/55 watt output, 1700\/1100 lumens at 12 volts, and both DOT and ECE approval so it's legal on the road. It's a clean, known-good fix for a burnt-out headlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hella 9008\/H13 is a straight replacement halogen headlight bulb, and one bulb does two jobs. It carries both a high beam and a low beam filament in a single housing, which is exactly why you'll see it rated at 60\/55 watts. The 60 watt filament fires your high beam. The 55 watt filament handles your low beam. If your vehicle came from the factory running a single bulb per headlight for both beams, this is very likely the bulb sitting behind that lens right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput lands at 1700 lumens on high and 1100 on low, running off a standard 12 volt system. That's the factory-spec output for this bulb type, so you're getting a clean, legal, known-good beam pattern instead of a gimmick. The light comes out a warm white, which is the standard halogen color drivers are used to and easy on the eyes in fog or rain. This is a standard-output replacement, built to match what rolled off the line. And that's exactly what you want when you're just trying to get a burnt-out headlight working again without any drama at inspection time or a beam that blinds oncoming traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the DOT and the ECE approvals matter more than they look. DOT means it's legal to run on the road in the United States. ECE covers the European standard. A lot of the cheap headlight bulbs floating around skip one or both, and that's the kind of thing that bites you at a state inspection or earns you a fix-it ticket. This one's stamped for both. You can install it and forget about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHella has been building automotive lighting for well over a century, and a big share of the bulbs behind factory headlights started life on their line. That original-equipment background is the whole point here. You're not rolling the dice on filament life or beam alignment. The glass, the P26.4t base, and the T4 filament geometry all match the original spec, so the bulb drops into the socket and throws light exactly where your reflector was designed to send it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwapping it is usually a ten minute job. Pop the back of the headlight housing, twist or unclip the old bulb, unplug the connector, and reverse the steps with the new one. Take your time and you won't need any special tools. One tip we give everybody: don't touch the glass with your bare fingers. The oil from your skin bakes onto the hot glass and creates a spot that can shorten the bulb's life. Handle it by the base, or use the sleeve it ships in. If you do smudge it, wipe it down with a little rubbing alcohol before you power it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeads up on quantity. This is sold as a single bulb in a blister pack, not a pair. Headlights fade and fail together, so if one side just went dark, the other usually isn't far behind. Most folks grab two and do both housings at once, which keeps the color and brightness matched side to side. Nothing looks worse than one crisp white headlight next to a dim yellow one, and a matched pair is the easy fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing that trips people up. You'll see this bulb called a 9008 and an H13, and sometimes both at once. They're the same bulb. 9008 is the North American trade number and H13 is the international ECE designation. So if your old bulb or your owner's manual lists either one, you're in the right place. Same base, same wattage, same fit. Whether it's a daily driver, a work truck, an RV, or a tow rig, if it takes a 9008\/H13, this Hella bulb gets your lights back to full strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-filament 60\/55 watt design runs both your high and low beam from a single 9008\/H13 bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1700\/1100 lumen output at 12 volts matches factory headlight spec for a legal, known-good beam pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDOT and ECE approved, so it's street legal in both the United States and Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eP26.4t base with T4 filament geometry drops straight into a factory 9008\/H13 socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard-output replacement built to restore original brightness, not a color-temp gimmick\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHella-built to original-equipment quality from a maker with over a century in automotive lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single bulb in a protective blister pack, grab two to do both headlights at once\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 9008 the same as the H13?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYep, same bulb, two names. 9008 is the North American trade number and H13 is the ECE designation.
