Your
vehicle's owners manual may tell you what type of bulb you need for
your headlights and/or fog lights. However, the best way to be certain
about the bulb your vehicle uses on each beam is to pull one out and
take a look.
Never touch
halogen or HID bulb's glass as skin oils will cause the lamp to crack
or burst. If touched, use pure alcohol to clean it before installation.
Most vehicles
will use one of those shown below, these are easily replaced with HID
bulbs. Sealed beam units such as 4652,4662, 4656, 5062 can be fitted
with HID by frist fitting a sealed beam headlight replacement reflector
unit that accept replaceable H4 bulbs.
