INFINITI I30 Headlight Bulb Size

The INFINITI I30 headlight bulb size chart specifies high beam and low beam bulb options, with high beam sizes of 9005, 9011, and 9004, and low beam sizes of 9006, D2R, and 9004. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years from 1996 to 2001.

The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.

Additional Notes

The 9004 bulb is a dual-filament halogen type rated at 12V with a high/low wattage split of 65W and 45W, using a P29t base. In the Infiniti I30, this single bulb size served both the high beam and low beam functions across the 1996-1999 model years, with both filaments housed within one unit.
For the 2000-2001 I30 equipped with halogen capsule headlamps, the high and low beam functions were separated into two distinct bulbs. The high beam used the 9005, a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 65W with a P20d base, while the low beam used the 9006, also a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W with a P22d base.
The 9005 and 9006 bulbs share a similar physical profile but carry different base types, P20d and P22d respectively, which prevents cross-installation between the high and low beam sockets on the 2000-2001 halogen-equipped I30.
The 9011 bulb, specified for the high beam on 2000-2001 HID-equipped I30 models, uses a PX20d base rather than the standard P20d base of the 9005. These two bulbs are not interchangeable despite sharing the same 12V, 65W rating.
The D2R bulb, used for the low beam on 2000-2001 HID-equipped I30 models, operates on an 85V, 35W rating and functions as a high-intensity discharge xenon arc lamp rather than a filament-based halogen source. Its P32d-3 base and reliance on an external ignitor make it electrically and mechanically incompatible with the halogen low beam socket.
The D2R designation indicates a bulb designed specifically for reflector-type optical housings, as opposed to the D2S variant intended for projector housings. The two types are not interchangeable, as the physical shield integrated into the D2R bulb is positioned to control light distribution within a reflector housing.
The 9004, 9005, 9006, and 9011 bulbs all conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, while the D2R conforms to ECE standards used in Europe and internationally, reflecting a difference in regulatory frameworks between the two headlamp systems offered on the 2000-2001 I30.
The transition from the 9004 dual-filament bulb in 1996-1999 to separate 9005/9006 or 9011/D2R pairings in 2000-2001 represents a change in headlamp architecture on the I30, meaning the socket configuration of the earlier and later model years is not compatible.
