Help On Driving/fog Bulb Replacement

[JustinVu]

Hi guys

Would appreciate any help to replace my driving fog lights / high beam. Well im intending to put HID on both high beam and low beam. I know for sure that Low beam uses D2R and high beam uses H4 (dual filament for fog light as well). well my question is there are 4 types of H4, H4-1,2,3,4. which one should be picked for our cars ? Im pretty sure it wont be H4-4 coz the current bulb doesnt seem to be a twin bulb type, and it should not be h4-1 either. Regardless, im pretty confused and deseprately needs u guys to help T_T

H1, i think

on the headlights it says D2R, HB2. so i assume it will be D2r for low beam and HB2 for high beam. but HB2 is designated for H4 .... very confused, especially when it comes to H4 bulb type @_@

Your highbeam/fog lamp as they use a single normal H4 halogen lamp. You will need a H4 HID replacement to convert this to HID, similar to the H4-3 unit listed here -

If you have D2R lamps in your low beam, they are already HIDs. - the low beam is a totally separate lamp in a totally separate reflector.

From what I understand H4-1 is a low beam only lamp (fog light only). H4-3 uses a single lamp with a retractable light shield. H4-4 uses a twin lamp.

my drivers side "top" light has gone out, i beleive the bottom circular shaped bulbs are the fogs/low beam is that correct and the top lights are the low beam/high beam? Don't know what to replace the bulb with, i know it's halogen but not sure exactly what typre of bulb to replace it with.

well, "top" is low beam ONLY...the lower part is high beam/ fog (driving lights actually) ... HB2 (9003) is the one for that high beam / fog light (aftermarket projector however uses H4 instead.) and D2R is the one for ur "top" light which is LOW BEAM ONLY

Sedan was the only model that ran a dual filament bulb for high beam / driving light.

Coupe' ran a H1 bulb for high beam as driving lights were an option that went into inserts in the front bar.

Low beam on both is D2R, unless converted to Halogen then it will be a H1 globe and a little insert fitted to the globe holder.

mate, i run a coupe , 04 model (not sure if that makes the difference) but i have "driving lights" and "high beam" in the same bulb. because i can turn on driving lights and flash, i can tell the height changing so definitely that must be a dual filament type ...not sure other models though

if your HID was converted to halogen during compliance (as HID is illegal because the headlights don't have washers on them) then the low beams will be H1.
