Additional Notes

The Saturn SL uses the 9005 bulb for high beam headlights and the 9006 bulb for low beam headlights across all model years from 1991-2002.
Both the 9005 and 9006 are single-filament halogen bulbs operating on a 12-volt system, each serving a dedicated lighting function rather than sharing a dual-filament design.
The 9005 high beam bulb draws 65 watts, while the 9006 low beam bulb draws 55 watts, reflecting the higher output typically associated with high beam applications.
Although the 9005 and 9006 share a similar physical profile, they use different base types. The 9005 uses a P20d base and the 9006 uses a P22d base, making the two bulbs non-interchangeable despite their visual resemblance.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada, indicating standardized electrical and photometric performance requirements.
