Hello Marie,It depends on the base that you have, but it will likely not be able to withstand the engine heat for long.-GoWISE USA-GoWISE USA

Good afternoon Marie,This would really depend on how many volts the compartment of your vehicle require and the bases have to match. This bulb holds wide voltage range of 12-30v; Applications include 12 or 24 Volt DC in auto. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask, our team is here to help. -RV Marine

I put three of these bulbs in my camper. The camper never moves so no vibrations or power surges, yet all three failed within two months, maybe 60 hrs of use. I personally wouldn't put them in a dog pen. Cannot contact the company to get compensation. You buy these you takes your chances

Any light bulb can be used. This is a Compact Florescent bulb and will burn out quickly if you switch it on and off many times. It may be bright enough but multiple lights work better to avoid shadows when working under the hood of a car.

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

This bulb is designed to not throw codes. I have a VW and there were no codes. You should be good

This bulb should work. It's fairly easy to install also, just take your time.

I am not a safety expert. The bulbs are big, so if it fits, the decision basis would be similar to a normal, non CF 18 Watt bulb --- from a heat dissipation perspective.

This bulb works very well at low temperatures. I have it in several outdoor fixtures and it worked well this past winter in Cleveland, Ohio. We had lows around -12 degrees without any issue. I will warn you however that the bulb does not like higher temperatures, the internal cooling fan cannot keep up with the heat the lamp produces. I have had to remove 12 of these from an office building because they were overheating and melting the cooling fans. This is a great bulb, they just need to perfect the cooling. The output of this lamp is greater than that of a 175w metal halide lamp.

That is what it's designed for. Just make sure that the power draw is no more than 10 amps (120 watts). I recommend LED headlights as they draw far less power than incandescent bulbs.

I would think this bulb would be OK for recessed can light, as long as you have a lens over it. This is not a spot but should work. These stay cool to touch never get hot.

Dear valued customerThis bulb works for the low beam headlight for your vehicle. It needs to make a hole at the dust cap to fit the fan and driver cable. Thanks

I have been using this bulb outside by my rear slider and have noticed NO difference in the output. For safety and reliability make sure the bulb is not exposed directly to water.

You can check on their Site "ShopJimmy.com" for questions like this. Its Awesome though just works like a regular bulb.

It was low beam for me but that depends on the bulb for your car. My low and high beams were different.

If you know your original bulb size. And this is the same bulb size, then it should. Be aware that the LED versions come with either a heat sink or a heat sink with fan which takes up space behind the bezel. Look a your engine bay and desire if you think there will be enough room to fit something between the bezel and other components.

It should work, if worry about heat transfer if the bulb is to close unless it led or cfl.

You'll have to read up on what kind of bulbs your car takes. I do not know, but thanks for asking.

I don't see why not unless there are extreme temperatures. The main limitation will be the bulb's distance from the transmitter module.
