Peterbilt 386 fitment and housing clearance
For 2006–2016 Peterbilt 386 applications with a compatible 9007/HB5 headlight, match the connector, bulb seat and housing. Check the longer dual-fan body against the rear cover and internal components. Do not assume that a replacement headlight assembly uses the same bulb as the original assembly.
Internal glare-shield restriction
The longer Evo bulb is not suitable for 4×6-inch or 5.75-inch sealed-beam housings with internal glare shields. Confirm internal clearance before selecting an LED bulb for one of those housings.
Installation and electrical checks
Seat the bulb correctly, keep the cooling area and wiring clear and confirm that the rear cover closes properly. Check the truck’s electrical controls and lamp monitoring; the integrated driver does not establish compatibility with every warning or PWM system. Test high and low beams and check headlight aim after installation.
Warranty
BTS Lighting backs the Alpha Series Evo with a limited lifetime warranty.
Street‑legality & compliance
There is no such thing as a DOT‑approved aftermarket LED bulb; the DOT does not approve headlight bulbs. In the United States, replacing a halogen bulb with an LED version is generally not legal. To stay compliant, choose SAE‑compliant lighting, ensure your headlights are properly aligned, avoid retrofit kits not designed for your vehicle and always check local laws. BTS Lighting’s Alpha Series Evo bulbs are sold for off‑road use or where permitted by law. Verify compliance in your province, state or country before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bulb type and quantity are supplied?
The package contains two Alpha Series Evo 9007/HB5 LED bulbs with integrated dual-fan cooling and driver electronics, plus an installation manual.
Does 9007/HB5 provide both high and low beams?
Yes. This is a dual-beam bulb for a compatible 9007/HB5 headlight position. Confirm the existing bulb marking, connector and housing arrangement before replacing it.
What clearance issue should I check on a Peterbilt 386?
The dual-fan body is longer than a standard halogen bulb. Check the bulb seat, rear cover, wiring space and internal clearance in the installed headlight. This listing warns against 4×6-inch or 5.75-inch sealed-beam housings with internal glare shields.
What output and colour temperature are listed?
BTS lists 5,000 lumens per bulb and 6500K white output for this exact Evo 9007 product. The installed beam also depends on the housing, lens condition, bulb position and headlight aim.
Do the bulbs support 12V and 24V systems?
The listed operating range is 9–32V. The voltage range alone does not confirm the connector, headlight controls or lamp-monitoring compatibility of a particular truck.
Will I need an additional harness or flicker solution?
The driver electronics are integrated into the bulb. Check the truck’s connector and lamp-control requirements; an integrated driver is not a guarantee that every electrical system will operate without warnings or flicker.
Do I need to check headlight aim after installation?
Yes. Check the bulb seating and the high- and low-beam patterns after installation, then set the headlight aim for the installed assembly.
What warranty is listed for the Evo bulbs?
BTS Lighting backs the Alpha Series Evo 9007 bulbs with a limited lifetime warranty. Follow the installation requirements and retain your purchase details.
