What is the Difference Between a 9006 and a 9006XS Head Light Bulb for a 2006 Cadillac CTS
Published 11/10/2011
Question:
i have a 2006 cadillac cts. it requires 9006xs and 9005xs bulbs. i found replacements that i would really like to put in, but they only come as 9005 and 9006. will they work? also are there any other bulb sizes that will fit a 9145 fog lamp?

One of my colleagues has found that the difference between the 9006 and the 9006xs bulbs is the type of base the light has. A 9006 bulb will have a 90 degree angle base whereas the XS bulb will have a straight base. For example, compare 9006 bulb # VX-L9006 with XS bulb # VX-L9006XS.
Certain vehicles require a certain style so you cannot interchange them. I have included a link to all of the lights we have for a 2006 Cadillac CTS.
A 9145 bulb is the same as an H10 like the Vision X H10 Halogen Headlight Bulbs, # VX-LH10.
