Differences Between a Household Bulb and an Automotive Bulb

Mainly, it is the thickness of the filament inside the bulbs, and the type of "base" on the bulbs and thus the type of socket(s) in which it will fit.

Also, the houshold bulb is designed to operater on Alternating Current [AC] at 110 to 125 Volts, while the automotive bulb is designed to operate on Direct Current [DC] at 12 Volts.
