The HB3 and 9005 bulbs are equivalent, along with several other bulb sizes: H10, 9040, 9055, 9140, 9145, 9150, and 9155. They share the same base design and can be used interchangeably in most cases
HB3 headlight bulbs can be directly replaced with 9005 bulbs, as both refer to the same bulb specification commonly used in automotive applications.
For improved visibility and efficiency, LED conversion kits based on the 9005 series—such as variants like 9005L+ or 9005xs—offer a brighter, whiter light output and are designed as plug-and-play upgrades.
While other bulbs like H11 or H8 may be mentioned in compatibility lists, the 9005 (or HB3 equivalent) remains the optimal and widely compatible choice for direct replacement.
LED options typically feature advanced cooling systems and universal fit, enhancing durability and safety during night driving.
Always verify fitment with your vehicle model before installation to ensure optimal performance.
