Overview
The Recon 2649006PB is a 9006 HB4 XENON replacement headlight bulb in Platinum Blue, rated at 5,600 Kelvin and packaged as a pair. Recon, an aftermarket lighting brand for trucks and SUVs, describes it as universal fit for nearly every make and model of car, truck and SUV, which makes the 9006 HB4 base the main thing to match.
Stock halogen headlights look dim and yellowish. A bluer, cooler light improves road illumination and gives drivers more confidence at night. Dark parking lots, boat ramps, poorly lit roads and highways are where that brighter light helps most. The bulb suits owners who prefer a cooler, bluer color in a 9006 headlight.
Key features
- Platinum Blue XENON color rated at 5,600 Kelvin
- 9006 HB4 bulb base
- Average life expectancy is 11,000 hours or better.
- Packaged as a pair, two bulbs per set
- Universal fit rather than a specific vehicle match
Blue tones and visibility
Bluer headlight output can feel sharp at night, but it does not automatically improve how far a driver can see. The gain depends on the reflector, lens clarity and aim. A bluer color may also appear dimmer to some eyes in fog or rain, so judge the result on a real road before deciding it is an upgrade.
Aim matters most when changing bulb color. Park on level ground facing a wall and check the cutoff line. Re-check after any suspension change or load, since a shifted beam can dazzle oncoming drivers even when the light itself is well chosen.
- Check beam aim after installation
- Clean the lenses before judging the new color
- Confirm the rules in your area first

Vehicle fitment
Recon lists these bulbs as universal fit, so they are not matched to a specific year, make, model or trim. The deciding factor is the bulb base: this bulb is a 9006 HB4, and a headlight that takes a different base will not accept it. Compare the base in your headlight with this bulb before installing.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Blue-toned headlight output can be restricted on public roads in some areas, so confirm local rules before installing these bulbs.
