Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Cruze uses the 9008 bulb size for its daytime running light across the 2011-2015 model years.
The 9008 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning it contains two separate filaments within a single housing, each operating at a different wattage: 65W for the high-beam filament and 55W for the low-beam filament.
The bulb operates at 12 volts, which is standard for automotive electrical systems.
The 9008 uses a P26t base, a specific pin configuration that determines physical fitment into the socket and is not interchangeable with bulbs carrying different base types.
The 9008 designation follows ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, placing it within a regulated classification system for bulb performance and construction.
Because the 9008 is a dual-filament type, it serves functions that single-filament bulbs cannot replicate within the same socket, making direct substitution with single-filament alternatives incompatible without modification.
