Stoln Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi, New to the 2013 Edge as I just got mine 2 months ago, want to change the headlight from stock to a brighter light, cannot get the 9012 from local parts store, read that 9006 is the same. I decided to check on ebay and see sellers selling 9006 for low beam and sellers selling them for low/high beam. Are the 9006 bulbs the dual low/high beam combo bulb so any will work.

omar302 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Get it online. The Edge uses a single filament bulb with a shield in the projector headlight that moves up and down to create the low/high beams. The 9012 is also referred to as HIR2. The 9006 will probably fit, but the 9012/HIR2 is a better (brighter) bulb. You can also fit a 9005 or 9011/HIR1 easily using the O-ring from the 9006/9012. The 9005/9011 are much brighter, but have much a shorter life span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I thought the single bulb/shield setup was only used on HIDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 It's also used in some halogen projectors, Ford's Taurus, Edge & Explorer with halogen lights have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
