2005 Bentley Continental GT Headlight

I have a 2005 Bentley Continental GT. My inner headlight went out, so I am looking for a bulb to replace it. I was looking online for a replacement, but couldn't find any information. What kind of bulb is compatible for my headlights?

Hello,
I just went up and popped out the bulb as I have my headlights out during the rebuild of my GT, check out the pictures for the part number, wattage, and mounting configuration.

if you meant the high beam is not working, the bulb is HB3 9005

Amazon sells the bulb . Buy the Philips brand.


high beam bulb is easy to change out without needing to removal of car parts.

Thank you very much for your help, Johnny Hotspur GT and lilo1980. I appreciate it very much! It was very helpful. One more question if you guys don't mind - what about the outer headlight (the outer headlight instead of the inner one)? What bulb is compatible?

Thank you for your help, gentlemen!

The outer is the BiXenon bulb D2S.

To swap this bulb, on the passenger side of LHD, requires major operation, at least according to the service manual. Several hours of labours.

I swapped my driver side to a new brighter bulb but gave up on the passenger side.

This is the one I bought for my high beam:

It is slightly whiter than the conventional halogen if you're looking for a bit of modern look.
