H18 Halogen Lamp 12 V 65 W PY26d-1 Blister

Product Information

The World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (ECE Regulations) develops and maintains international-consensus UN Regulations on light sources acceptable for use in lamps on vehicles and trailers type-approved for use in countries that recognise the UN Regulations. These include Regulation 37, [1] which contains specifications for filament lamps, and Regulation 99 and its addenda [2] [3]

The addition of a blue coating to the bulb will turn the colour of the light to be more white. The downside to this is a small reduction in light intensity. While the brightness and range of the light is impressive, xenon bulbs can dazzle other drivers and create glare.

LED bulbs can be more expensive than other car bulb types, but that’s off-set with the thousands of hours of trouble-free operation you can expect. More light allows to see farther and therefore react sooner. Signs, obstacles and hazards can be recognised sooner

There is a German national regulation for vehicle bulbs, now superseded by international ECE regulations. Bulbs according to the old German regulation are still manufactured. The German regulation is contained in §22a, Subsection 1, No. 18 of the Straßenverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung (StVZO, Road Traffic Approval Regulation). Per the Fahrzeugteileverordnung (FzTV, Vehicle Parts Regulation), such light bulbs must bear an approval mark consisting of a sine wave and the letter 'K'. The technical requirements themselves are established by standards produced by DIN. In Canada, vehicle headlamps may use light sources (bulbs) conforming to either the US or the international ECE regulations. [8] :108(5)(a) Replaceable Light Sources for Vehicle Headlamps Bulb Type The H17 and H18 bulbs are smaller, more powerful halogen bulbs, while the H8, H9 and H11 are self-sealing bulbs that don’t have to sit inside a watertight unit, so they’re often used as foglights.Halogen bulbs use a tungsten filament and a mix of inert gases, usually nitrogen and argon, to create light. On a serious note, 55 watt HID systems are even worse than any theoretical damage resulting from a 65-watt halogen bulb being used in place of a 55-watt halogen bulb. The beam pattern cannot be fixed by re-aiming. We also offer a full range of OBC anti-error modules for LED kits, LED bulb-holder adapters, and waterproof covers for cars and motorcycles.

There are several different classifications for car bulbs. The United Nations (UN) has set international standards for classifying car bulbs. This helps to ensure that bulb types are standard across different countries. These products do not have ECE approval and must not be used on public roads in any exterior application. Public roads use leads to cancellation of operating license and loss of insurance coverage. Several countries forbid sale and use of these products.Plus, the H18 was designed as a near-direct replacement for OEMs. Thermals are discussed, briefly, in this leaflet: The light produced is similar in brightness to that of a xenon bulb, and produce very little heat so they’re more efficient and therefore cheaper to run.
