Pontiac Torrent Headlight Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• 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.
