Bulbs HB1

HB1 automotive light bulbs: type, uses, characteristics

HB1 are dual-filament halogen lamps, as indicated by the letter H. The letter B refers to the fact that the component is equipped with a bullet-shaped envelope and complies with US standards. Xenon (HID) versions may also use this designation.

Where are they installed?

HB1 automotive light bulbs are mounted in headlight assemblies, where they ensure high and low beam light, and in fog lights. They are equipped with P29d bases. The output of halogen versions is 100W/65W for low beam and 80W/55W/45W for high beam. Xenon (HID) versions have an output of 25W. The voltage is 12V.

Characteristics

They are mostly installed on vehicles on the US market and, less often, on the Japanese market. The working element of halogen versions is a tungsten filament, mounted in an envelope filled with a mixture of inert gas and bromine or iodine. The addition of a halogen gas allows a higher operating temperature. Xenon light sources serve for up to 3,000 hours and use two electrodes emitting an electric arc instead of a filament.

How to choose HB1 automotive bulbs

When choosing bulbs, always go by the recommendations of the car manufacturer and the specifications of the parts currently installed. A specific type is required for each light. The installation of components that don’t match the specifications of the standard equipment is not permitted – this could cause damage to the headlight or result in a traffic penalty.
