Product Specifications

I. Origin & Purpose
      The H6W is a small bulb type originating from the standardized design of the European automotive industry. The “W” in its name denotes its unique Wedge Base. It emerged during an era of increasing specialization in automotive lighting, designed specifically for low-power, compact-space applications. Commonly used as side lights, parking lights, position lights, or trunk lights, its primary role is not to illuminate the road but to clearly define the vehicle’s silhouette and position with a soft, conspicuous glow. It is an essential component of the “signal language” in a vehicle’s active safety system.

II. Core Advantages

Exceptional Spatial Adaptability: The wedge base and compact bulb structure allow easy installation into various narrow and irregular lamp cavities, making it ideal for modern vehicles with complex lighting designs.

Stable Signal Indication: Provides uniform, soft 360-degree scattered light, ensuring clear vehicle identification from all angles, effectively enhancing passive safety at dusk, night, and in low-visibility conditions.

Low Energy Consumption & Long Life: With a typical power rating of only 5W to 10W, it consumes minimal energy. When operated at correct voltage, its lifespan far exceeds that of main lighting bulbs, offering durable and reliable signal performance.

III. Product Features

Non-Polarized Wedge Base: Features the revolutionary W2.1x9.5d wedge base. It requires no polarity distinction and does not need alignment with specific tabs during installation—it can be inserted at any angle. This greatly simplifies the installation process and eliminates errors.

Versatile Applications: A multi-role bulb suitable not only for front parking lights and side marker lights (on some models) but also widely used for interior map lights, glove compartment lights, and trunk illumination.

Stable & Reliable Contact: The wedge base ensures secure electrical contact via spring clips, offering excellent vibration resistance to maintain uninterrupted signaling even on bumpy roads.

OEM-Spec, Direct Replacement: Manufactured to exact original power and size specifications. It directly replaces old or failed bulbs, instantly restoring like-new signal light performance without affecting the vehicle’s electrical system.

Compatibility: Primarily used in European, Japanese, and many domestic vehicles for front parking lights (sidelights), side marker lights, interior map lights, and trunk/boot illumination. Please select based on the original bulb’s power rating (e.g., 5W, 10W).
