Blue Bird All American FE high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both use 9005 size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2000 to 2018 with bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9005 bulb is the sole bulb type specified across all headlight positions for the Blue Bird All American FE, covering model years 2000-2018.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts with a rated output of 65 watts, belonging to the P20d base family standardized by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Both the high beam and low beam headlight positions on the All American FE use the 9005 bulb, meaning a single bulb type serves the entire headlight system rather than separate types for each function.
The 9005 bulb produces a focused, high-intensity beam pattern, which is why it is conventionally associated with high beam applications; its use in the low beam position on this vehicle reflects a specific optical housing design rather than a general industry standard.
The 9005 and 9006 bulbs share a physically similar form factor but use a keyed base that prevents cross-installation; the 9006 cannot be seated into a 9005 socket without modification, making the two types non-interchangeable under standard fitment conditions.
Some aftermarket suppliers offer 9005 bulbs marketed under the HB3 designation, which is the ECE regulatory equivalent; both refer to the same bulb type and are physically compatible with the same socket.
The uninterrupted use of the 9005 across all nineteen model years in the specifications indicates a stable headlight housing design throughout that production span for the All American FE.
