Ford Explorer Sport Trac high and low beam headlight bulbs use 9008 and 9007 sizes. The replacement chart covers 2001 through 2010 production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Ford Explorer Sport Trac uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the 9007 for 2001-2005 and the 9008 for 2007-2010.
Both the 9007 and 9008 are dual-filament halogen bulbs, meaning a single bulb serves both the high beam and low beam functions within one housing.
The 9007 and 9008 operate at 12 volts with identical wattage ratings of 65W on the high beam filament and 55W on the low beam filament.
Despite sharing the same voltage and wattage ratings, the 9007 and 9008 are not interchangeable, as they use different base types: the 9007 uses a PX29t base while the 9008 uses a P26t base.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The base type difference between the 9007 and 9008 means the physical connector and socket configuration changed between the 2005 and 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac model years.
