Technical details and sources

Fitment, factory-system research, and BulbFacts product tests remain separate evidence. A matching bulb size does not by itself make a conversion a vehicle-specific recommendation.

Fitment note: Verify the installed bulb, connector, housing, and factory system before ordering. A bulb-size match is not automatically a conversion recommendation or proof of vehicle-specific testing.
