Technical Specifications

Application & Usage Guide

The HIR2 (9012) bulb is specifically designed for vehicles equipped with projector-style headlights, commonly used for both high and low beam functions. Its advanced infrared coating technology and PX22d base make it a direct replacement for factory-fitted HIR2/9012 bulbs in select modern vehicles, particularly certain Honda, Acura, and other Asian manufacturers. The HIR2 is ideal for drivers seeking maximum brightness and efficiency from halogen technology. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual to confirm HIR2/9012 compatibility before purchase.

Installation Tips: Always handle halogen bulbs with clean gloves or cloth to avoid skin oils on the glass envelope, which can reduce the effectiveness of the infrared coating. Ensure the PX22d connector is properly aligned and the bulb is securely locked into the projector housing before testing. Replace bulbs in pairs for even illumination and optimal performance.

Important Safety & Compatibility Information

• Always replace bulbs in pairs to ensure even light output and colour temperature
• Disconnect the vehicle battery before installation to prevent electrical shorts
• Do not touch the glass envelope with bare hands; use gloves or clean cloth to protect the infrared coating
• Verify HIR2/9012 fitment in your vehicle's manual before ordering—not interchangeable with H11 or other types
• Ensure the PX22d connector is properly aligned with the socket
• Only use in projector-style headlight housings designed for HIR2 bulbs
• Dispose of old bulbs responsibly according to local regulations
• Allow bulbs to cool completely before handling after use
