Looking for Running (Driving) lights size, factory bulbs in since new and one finally burned out. 2014.5 Camry Hybrid.
I have been searching and can't find the size. Thanx. They lasted 113,000 miles.

I am not asking about high or low beams lights. Well the filament was built into the high beam bulbs. Not a separate bulb. My mistake, never had the DRL go out before. Usally just the high bean filament.

My lower lights are setup as fog lights, as they should be. Yellow for fog cutting, not reflecting back as you get with white light in fog.

Do you mean DRL bulb size?
it was the high beam bulb with dual filament with the DRL built into it. Sylvania #9005
i just replaced the high beam bulbs recently too.
Sylvania bulbs really suck! but it is almost always what the stores carry ...

at least every year for low beam bulbs, and ever maybe 5 years for High Beam bulbs...

really pissed me off.. I was out last night at home depot, and another store and drove all the way back and found it went out... I could have bought them when I was in town.

And of course, it was the bulb bewteen the grill and inverter.

9005 isn't dual filament. It's a single filament. The DRL circuit reduces the power on the 9005 bulbs, so it doesn't burn out as quick.


a H15 bulb for instance, that some VW's have used, is a dual filament bulb. 15W for DRL and 55W for high beam. You can see 2 filaments here. The top one with the shield is the 15W for DRL and the one below is 55W high beam
