Additional Notes

The Saturn SW2 uses the 9005 bulb for high beam headlights and the 9006 bulb for low beam headlights across all model years from 1993-2001.
Both the 9005 and 9006 are ANSI-standardized halogen bulb types recognized in the United States and Canada, meaning they conform to a defined set of electrical and physical specifications rather than being proprietary to any single manufacturer.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12 volts and 65 watts, fitted with a P20d base, and serves the high beam function across the entire SW2 production run.
The 9006 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12 volts and 55 watts, fitted with a P22d base, and handles the low beam function across the same 1993-2001 span.
Although the 9005 and 9006 share the same voltage rating and a visually similar form, their base types differ: the P20d base on the 9005 and the P22d base on the 9006 are not interchangeable, as each base is keyed to its respective socket configuration.
The 10-watt difference between the 9005 and 9006 reflects their intended roles, with the higher-wattage 9005 producing greater light output suited to high beam distances and the lower-wattage 9006 optimized for the controlled, downward-directed pattern of a low beam.
