L2-H13 Lucas Lighting H13 LED Headlight Bulbs – 13,000 Lumens Dual Beam
Lucas Lighting L2-H13 H13 LED Headlight Bulbs – 13,000 Lumens Dual Beam
Upgrade your vehicle's factory H13 headlights with the Lucas Lighting L2-H13 LED Headlight Bulbs. Designed as part of Lucas Lighting's popular L2 Series, these bulbs deliver 13,000 lumens per pair with a brighter, whiter, sharper light output compared with traditional halogen bulbs.
The H13/9008 bulb is a dual-beam application, allowing the same bulb to provide both low- and high-beam functions. The L2-H13 is engineered to maintain a focused light pattern while providing increased illumination and range over traditional halogen lighting.
The L2 Series features an outboard controller that moves critical electronics away from the LED heat source while providing wider CANBUS compatibility. The separate controller also allows Lucas Lighting to use a smaller bulb body with a side-firing fan, making the L2 a strong choice for applications where space behind the headlight is limited.
With IP67-rated-or-better construction, a high-quality LED chipset, 10,000+ hour lifespan, instant-on operation, and plug-and-play installation, the L2-H13 provides a premium LED upgrade without the complexity of a custom lighting system. It is compatible with both standard reflector and projector-style housings.

H13 / 9008 Dual-Beam Replacement
The L2-H13 is designed specifically for vehicles using the H13/9008 bulb size.
Unlike single-beam bulb sizes that perform only one lighting function, H13 is a dual-beam bulb, allowing both low-beam and high-beam operation from the same bulb position.
Lucas Lighting's current cross-reference lists:
- 9008 → H13
- H13ST/XV → H13
Always verify the original bulb number and vehicle application before ordering.
L2 Series Technology
The L2 Series was engineered as an advancement over the L1 platform, with several design changes intended to improve both performance and fitment.
One of the most important upgrades is the dedicated outboard controller. By moving critical electronics away from the LED heat source, Lucas Lighting can improve thermal management while also incorporating broader CANBUS compatibility.
The controller also allows the L2 bulb itself to remain particularly compact. Lucas uses a side-firing fan to help accommodate applications where the available space behind the headlight is limited.
This combination gives the L2 Series a strong balance of output, durability, electrical compatibility and physical fitment.
Why Choose the L2-H13?
The L2-H13 is a strong choice for customers who want a substantial LED upgrade without stepping into Lucas Lighting's higher-output L3, L4 or L5 Series.
With 13,000 lumens per pair, the L2 provides a significant increase in light output over conventional halogen bulbs while maintaining a compact design and straightforward installation.
The outboard controller and side-firing fan are particularly useful design features for vehicles with tighter clearance behind the headlight housing. Wide CANBUS compatibility also makes the L2 Series a good fit for many modern vehicles where basic LED replacements can cause bulb-out warnings or other electrical issues.
