High or Low Beam?
Hi,
I have one very silly question. Are low beam and high beam bulbs different in wattage? If so what is the difference? Can I actually use the same type of bulb for both, providing they are the respectively correct part numbers (9003, etc)? PLMK. Thanks.

I assume it is the same in the Second gen -- Your high beam and low beams are the same bulb. So, yes, the same part number (900x) is going to be it. IE: I changed out my headlight 'Bulb' on each side with the High intensity Sylvania's.. (Highest Intensity you can get for stock wattage ) -- And its one bulb per side.
Inside the bulb are two filaments, one for low beam, one for high.
If that makes sense.
Second gen could be separate.. but I wouldn't imagine so.

The low and high beam bulbs are separate. So can I use the same type of bulb in both locations? The low is 9003 and high is 9005. Just wondering if I can use the same type/style/wattage bulb in both locations.

The low beams are 9003 so you have to stick with 9003 bulbs. You cannot put the 9005 in the low beams, vice versa. If you are getting replacement or upgraded bulbs, stick with brand names such as Sylvania.

high or low beam
Hi,
Yes I will put 9003 and 9005 respectively, but just wondering if I can use the same type of bulb or do I need a more "powerful" ones for the high beam. I was thinking about getting the same bulb as my low beam in the high beam. PLMK.
