Blue Bird All American RE headlight bulbs use 9005 size for both high and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2000 to 2018 vehicle production years with bulb size 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 headlight bulb type specified for the Blue Bird All American RE across all listed model years, covering both high beam and low beam positions from 2000-2018.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 65 watts with a P20d base, producing approximately 1700 lumens and rated for a color temperature near 3200K.
Both the high beam and low beam headlight positions share the same 9005 bulb specification across the entire 2000-2018 model year range.
The 9005 bulb uses a two-tab locking connector and is not physically interchangeable with the 9006 bulb, which serves low beam functions in many other vehicles, despite the two types appearing visually similar.
Although the 9005 and 9006 share the same P20d base family, the 9006 has a blocking tab positioned differently to prevent installation in a 9005 socket, making cross-substitution a fitment concern.
The 9005 is also cross-referenced under the HB3 designation in international standards, meaning bulbs labeled HB3 refer to the same specification.
Using a single bulb type for both high and low beam positions, as specified here, is a design characteristic associated with vehicles that use separate reflector housings for each beam function rather than a dual-filament arrangement.
