Additional Notes

The Toyota Matrix uses the 9005 bulb size for the daytime running light across the 2009-2013 model years.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function rather than combining two functions such as low and high beam in a single unit.
It operates at 12 volts and 65 watts, which places it in the higher-wattage range for halogen bulbs commonly found in automotive forward lighting applications.
The 9005 uses a P20d base, a bayonet-style connector that is not interchangeable with other common base types such as the P14.5s used on H1 bulbs or the PGJ19 series used on H8 and H11 bulbs.
The 9005 designation follows the ANSI standard recognized in both the United States and Canada, distinguishing it from ECE-regulated bulb families used in many other markets.
Because the 9005 is a single-filament type, substituting it with a dual-filament bulb such as the 9004 or 9007 is not a compatible replacement, as those bulbs carry different base configurations and wiring arrangements.
