High/Low Beam Combined 9005 / HB3
The Night Breaker 200 is the top standard-wattage reflector recommendation at the time of review. Anything scoring higher in the reflector chart uses much higher wattage, while the NB200 keeps the simple drop-in halogen format.

Available exterior and interior lighting data for this model year.
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.
| Position | Bulb or system | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|
| High/Low Beam CombinedLighting: halogen | 9005 / HB3 | Likely fitment |
| High/Low Beam CombinedLighting: HID | D3S | Likely fitment |
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.
