Additional Notes

The 9005 bulb is a single-filament halogen unit rated at 12V and 65W, fitted with a P20d base. It serves as the high beam headlight across the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser from 1988-1994, as well as the 1987 model year when equipped with halogen capsule headlamps.
The 9006 bulb is a single-filament halogen unit rated at 12V and 55W, fitted with a P22d base. It functions as the low beam counterpart to the 9005 and shares the same model year fitment range under halogen capsule headlamp configurations.
Although the 9005 and 9006 share the same voltage rating and halogen technology, their wattage and base types differ. The P20d base of the 9005 and the P22d base of the 9006 are not interchangeable, meaning the high and low beam positions require distinct bulbs.
The H4651 and H4656 are 4x6-inch rectangular sealed beam units operating at 12V. Unlike the halogen capsule bulbs, these are not replaceable bulbs in the conventional sense; the entire sealed unit is replaced when the light fails.
The H4652, used as the low beam in the 1983 Cutlass Cruiser, is a variant of the H4651 sealed beam format. Despite the shared physical format, H4651 and H4652 are distinct part numbers and serve different beam functions.
The 1987 Cutlass Cruiser carried two separate headlamp system configurations. Vehicles built with halogen capsule headlamps used the 9005 and 9006 bulbs, while those built with sealed beam headlamps used the H4651 for high beam and H4656 for low beam.
All bulb types listed across the Cutlass Cruiser headlight specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada.
The low beam fitment for the 1982-1983 model years was not uniform. The 1983 model used the H4652, while the 1980-1982 models used the H4656 for the low beam position.
