Overview
The Recon 2649005DW is a 9005 XENON replacement headlight bulb in Diamond White, rated at 4,600 Kelvin and packaged as a pair. Recon, a manufacturer of aftermarket lighting for the truck and SUV market, describes it as universal fit for nearly every make and model of car, truck and SUV, so the 9005 bulb base is the main thing to match.
Factory halogen headlights can look yellow and dim, and a whiter beam is often preferred for better road visibility. Owners who drive dark parking lots, boat ramps, poorly lit roads and highways may find a brighter, cooler white output helpful. This bulb suits owners who want a crisp white color in a 9005 headlight socket.
Key features
- Diamond White XENON color rated at 4,600 Kelvin
- 9005 bulb base
- Rated for an 11,000 hour average life expectancy, meeting or exceeding that figure.
- Packaged as a pair, two bulbs per set
- Universal fit rather than a specific vehicle match
Before you buy a bulb
Before buying a replacement bulb, confirm the base type your headlight uses, since a bulb with the wrong base will not seat in the socket. Check the bulb’s rating and color, and think about how the new light will look next to the lens and housing. Wear clean gloves when handling the glass envelope, because skin oils can create hot spots that shorten life.
Heat builds up quickly in a headlight, so make sure the housing and connector are in good shape and that the bulb is fully seated. Dim, flickering or hot-running headlights are signs the bulb or connector needs attention. After installing new bulbs, check the beam aim on a level surface and adjust if needed. Keep the old bulbs as a spare for a short time in case the new ones need a return.

Vehicle fitment
Recon lists these bulbs as universal fit, so they are not matched to a specific year, make, model or trim. Fit depends on the bulb base: this is a 9005, and a headlight that takes a different base will not accept it. Check your current bulb base before installing.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because the color temperature is a visible change from factory lighting, check local road-use rules for headlight color before driving on public roads.
