Overview
The Recon 264H16DW is a pair of H16 xenon headlight bulbs in Diamond White at 4,600 Kelvin. The bulb also covers the 9009, 5202, 5201 and 2504 designations. It is universal fit, so the base type decides the match.
Recon is a lighting manufacturer focused on the truck and SUV market. It says factory halogen headlights throw off less light than a brighter xenon option, and points to dark parking lots, boat ramps and poorly lit highways as places where the difference shows. Recon rates the bulbs to meet or exceed an 11,000 hour average life expectancy.

Matching the base
Base designations are the first thing to check, because several different bulbs can look alike. Read the marking on the old bulb or its connector, and compare it with the designation before ordering. Matching the base is what determines physical fit, while the rest of the headlamp setup determines beam shape.
Xenon bulbs often need a stable power supply and a well-sealed housing to run correctly. If you notice flicker, a buzzing sound or a color shift, inspect the connector and the wiring before blaming the bulb. Replacing both sides at the same time keeps the output and color even.
- Read the base marking before ordering
- Check the connector for heat marks
- Keep both bulbs in their boxes until installed

Vehicle fitment
Universal Fit is the listed fitment, so the H16 base is the match to check. Compare your current bulb’s base marking with the bulb before fitting.
Bulbs for other bases, such as 9005 or H11, will not match an H16 socket. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Replace both sides together so the color and output match. Disconnect the battery before working around headlamp wiring.
