What type of bulb do we have??

I thought our headlights were H4 but on the Sylvania website it says we have H2/9003 bulbs. I'm buying a plug and play HID kit for the car and need to know. I searched and didnt find anything that was 100% sure.

I would have said H4 but you are correct, the guide says 9003.

Going fine. The car is at Kilo Racing. Thought I had a fuel pump go out but it turns out my Microtech temp sensor wires melted and shorted out, causing the temp map to go haywire. Jesus is fixing this as well as relocating my PLX water temp sensor to be behind the thermostat. I'm also having him do a few "bling" things while the car is there Contemplating having the interior redone in all black, with the seats done in leather and the center in Alcantara. We'll see. Hope to have it on the dyno next Saturday or the following week.

FYI - you could always go and pull a bulb out and see what it is. It will be stamped on the metal portion of the bulbs.

Its like 40º outside, if not less. I'll go out and check tomorrow.

Edit: Just check an old pair of HIDs I had on the car earlier and they say they're 35W H4s so I guess I'll just order me another set of H4s.

Are you getting the kit from IRP? I wanna check your bulbs out (pause) when you get them installed.

If you haven't bought the kit yet, take a look at the projector HID kit currently in the group buy section. This is the best light (by far) that I've seen for our cars!

I had a H4 HID 6000k kit. When a ballast & control unit relay died, I ditched it for a set of "H4 Philips X-treme Power +80% bulbs", mainly for simplicity and a tidier engine bay.

They are pretty good, no issues driving at night. They are actually better that the HIDs in my opinion....Don't look so cool though

Link to the bulbs for reference:

No I didnt get them from IRP, I just got them from some spot that my boys got them from for their bikes and cars.
