Which HB4 to buy: standard, brighter or long life

  • Standard: the OEM-equivalent replacement. The cheapest option and the longest lasting.
  • Brighter (+100% to +200%): they throw more light, farther down the road (Philips RacingVision, Sylvania SilverStar ultra, Osram Night Breaker…). They last a bit less: replace them in pairs.
  • Long life: made for high-mileage drivers or headlights that are hard to get to (Philips LongLife, Sylvania Basic, Osram Ultra Life).
  • Whiter light: a cooler, xenon-like tone that stays street legal. They give up a little performance in rain and fog.

Before switching to LED, check which LED headlight bulbs are street legal and under what conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is a HB4 bulb?+

The HB4 is a 51 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a P22d base. It’s also sold as 9006.

Is the HB4 the same as the HB5?+

No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (P22d on the HB4) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.

What vehicles use a HB4 bulb?+

Among others, the Chrysler 300 LX, Honda Accord Sedan 8th gen, Honda Civic Sedan 8th gen, Honda Civic Sedan 9th gen, Subaru Impreza 3rd gen, Toyota Corolla E140 and Toyota RAV4 XA30. The full list, with the position each one uses it for, is on this page.

Can I replace a HB4 with an LED?+

Not in a headlight designed for halogen bulbs: in the US, LED retrofit bulbs in halogen headlamp housings are not DOT / FMVSS 108 compliant for on-road use and can cause glare or issues at a state inspection. For more light, choose a high-performance halogen.
