Additional Notes

The H7 bulb is the most consistently used low beam bulb across all Volkswagen e-Golf model years covered in these specifications, appearing in 2015-2019 without exception. It is an ECE-standard single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W, fitted with a PX26d base, and carries approval for use in the US and Japan in addition to European and worldwide markets.
The H15 is a dual-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V with a 55W/15W output split across its two filaments, fitted with a PGJ23t-1 base. In the e-Golf, it serves as the high beam bulb for 2016-2017 model years and also covers the 2015 model year in vehicles without LED daytime running lights.
The 2018-2019 e-Golf models with halogen capsule headlamps use the H9 for the high beam position rather than the H15 used in earlier years. The H9 is an ECE-standard single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 65W, with a PGJ19-5 base, and holds US approval despite its ECE origins.
The 9005 bulb applies exclusively to the 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf equipped with LED daytime running lights. It is an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 65W with a P20d base, a standard common in the US and Canada.
The H9 and 9005 share the same voltage and wattage ratings (12V, 65W), but they are not interchangeable. Their base types differ, with the H9 using a PGJ19-5 base and the 9005 using a P20d base, and they conform to different regional standards.
The 2015 e-Golf high beam position requires two different bulb types depending on the vehicle's lighting configuration. Vehicles with LED daytime running lights take the 9005, while those without that feature take the H15, making the presence or absence of LED daytime running lights a critical factor in selecting the correct high beam bulb for that year.
The halogen capsule headlamp designation appears as a conditional qualifier for the high beam and low beam positions across 2016-2019 model years, indicating that these specifications apply specifically to vehicles fitted with that headlamp system rather than to all trim configurations.
