Bulbs H7

H7 automotive light bulbs: type, uses, characteristics

H7 bulbs are installed in headlights with four lamps or fog lights. Nowadays, they are usually used as low beams.

Characteristics

These parts are equipped with PX26d bases. The nominal output is 55W and 70W, but parts designed for use outside of public access roads can have higher wattage. The operating voltage is 12V.

The halogen versions have an envelope made of quartz glass and filled with inert gas. The working element is a tungsten filament. The design of LED parts includes a radiator to dissipate heat. If you’re planning to buy H7 LED or xenon (HID) versions and install them instead of standard ones, make sure that the car manufacturer and the laws of your country allow this. LED light sources are bigger than halogen ones. The intensity of the light beam decreases as the temperature increases inside a converted headlight during operation. Also take into account that xenon (HID) ones should be replaced on both sides, as their lighting intensity decreases and colour temperature increases over time. Only replacement in pairs can ensure proper road illumination.

How to choose H7 automotive bulbs

When choosing bulbs, always follow the recommendations of the car manufacturer and check the specifications of the parts currently installed in your car. Each lighting unit requires a specific type. Installing components that don’t match the specifications of the standard equipment is not permitted, and can result in a damaged headlight or a fine.
