Technical details
- Original part number: N-103-201-02 / N10320102.
- Bulb type: H7 halogen.
- Published electrical rating: 12 volts, 55 watts.
- Cataloged Long-Life specification.

A halogen bulb produces light through its heated filament within the glass envelope. The correct bulb type, electrical rating and installation position help preserve the lamp's intended operation and beam formation.
Match the original bulb and lamp equipment before ordering. Model and year alone are insufficient when a vehicle was offered with different lighting packages. This bulb is for a specified H7 halogen position and does not substitute for a xenon/HID capsule or an integrated LED source.
Common reasons to replace
Replace a bulb with an open filament, visible damage or loss of its intended lighting function. Dimming, uneven illumination or repeated failure should also prompt inspection of the lamp housing, connector and electrical supply.
Moisture inside the lamp, damaged seals, overheated terminals or an intermittent connection can shorten bulb service life. Correct these conditions as part of the repair instead of repeatedly replacing the bulb.
A new bulb does not repair a damaged reflector, clouded lens, melted connector or faulty control circuit. Check the complete lighting system if the headlamp remains inoperative after a correctly specified bulb is installed.
Installation and service notes
Switch the lighting off and let the bulb cool before service. Follow the vehicle's procedure for accessing the bulb holder and removing the retaining mechanism. Confirm the H7 designation and 12V 55W rating against the original lamp requirements.
Handle the replacement by its base and avoid touching the glass envelope with bare fingers. Contamination can affect the bulb during operation. If contamination occurs, follow the manufacturer's cleaning guidance before installation.
Seat the bulb in the intended orientation and engage the original retention mechanism fully. Reconnect the socket without forcing or bending its terminals, then reinstall the protective cover and check that the lamp is properly sealed.
Verify the lighting function and inspect the beam after assembly. An incorrectly seated bulb can affect the light pattern. Use the required aiming procedure when the lamp has been disturbed or its alignment is uncertain.
Do not install a higher-wattage bulb or alter the wiring to compensate for a fault. This listing supplies one original bulb; order the quantity needed for the actual repair.
