The Pontiac Torrent high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize a 9008 size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2006 to 2009.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9008 bulb is the sole headlight bulb type specified for the Pontiac Torrent across all listed model years, covering both high beam and low beam functions for 2006-2009.
The 9008 is a dual-filament halogen bulb, meaning a single bulb contains two separate filaments: one rated at 65W for high beam output and one rated at 55W for low beam output.
Because both filaments are housed in one unit, the 9008 serves as a combined high/low beam bulb rather than requiring separate bulbs for each function.
The 9008 uses a P26t base, which is a specific pin configuration that determines physical socket compatibility. A bulb with a different base type will not seat correctly in the Torrent's headlight housing.
The 9008 operates at 12 volts, consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The 9008 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating it meets defined performance and safety specifications for those markets.
The 9008 designation is sometimes cross-referenced with the H13 bulb type, as both share the same dual-filament design and P26t base. Fitment compatibility between these designations warrants verification before substitution.
