and the lumen output of them makes them entirely useless as headlamps. probably fine as DRLs, but as a source of illumination, worthless.

9005 are normally highbeams, 9006 for lows. 9005 incandescent bulbs are normally around 1700 lumens, with 9006 at ~1000 lumens.

HIR automotive bulbs

alternatively, HIR bulbs put off a lot more light for an identical amount of power consumed.

how many lumens are those LED replacements rated for?
