What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about quantity: its package-quantity field says 1, while the item highlights and included-components field say pack of 2 and 2 x 9005/HB3 Fog Lights. It also labels the source High Intensity Discharge while describing matrix chips, and cites both a 50,000-hour operating life and customer reports of failure within months. Confirm the selected listing's bulb technology and package count, and verify 9005/HB3 compatibility for the vehicle before ordering.
