Additional Notes

The D2S bulb appears across both high beam and low beam positions in the Mitsubishi Lancer for 2015-2017 HID-equipped variants, as well as the 2009 low beam with HID headlamps. It operates at 85V and 35W, uses a P32d-2 base, and follows the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide markets. As a high-intensity discharge xenon bulb designed for projector-type housings, it requires a separate external ignitor to function.
The 9007 bulb is a dual-filament halogen type rated at 12V with a high beam output of 65W and a low beam output of 55W. It uses a PX29t base and follows the ANSI standard applicable to the US and Canadian markets. In the Mitsubishi Lancer, the 9007 serves both high beam and low beam functions from a single bulb, covering the 2002, 2003, and 2007 model years across both positions.
The 9005 and 9006 are both single-filament ANSI-standard halogen bulbs, but they are not interchangeable. The 9005 uses a P20d base and is rated at 65W, while the 9006 uses a P22d base and is rated at 55W. In the Lancer, the 9005 is designated for the high beam and the 9006 for the low beam in halogen-equipped 2015-2017 models, with the 9006 also appearing in the 2008 and 2009 low beam positions.
The 2015-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer presents a dual-fitment structure where the headlamp type determines the bulb required. HID-equipped vehicles use the D2S for both high and low beams, while halogen capsule headlamp variants use the 9005 for the high beam and the 9006 for the low beam. These two configurations are not cross-compatible due to differences in base type, voltage, and housing design.
The 2009 Lancer low beam position lists both the D2S and the 9006, indicating that the model year was available with either HID or halogen capsule headlamps. The high beam for that same year lists only the 9005, with no HID variant noted for that position.
The transition from the 9007 dual-filament bulb in 2002-2007 to separate 9005 and 9006 single-filament bulbs from 2008 onward reflects a shift in headlamp housing architecture. The 9007 handles both beam functions through a single unit, whereas the later configuration uses dedicated bulbs for each function in separate housings.
