i'm guessing that the H4 is the usa version of 9003 euro... i could be very wrong tho... and no they are NOT interchangable... euro to american... i'm still unsure of the bulbs you are talking about tho

well the reason i ask is when you look on the sylvania website they state that 9003 are the direct replacement bulb for the 2003 mazdaspeed but everyone usually states that its the H4 bulbs and if you look on sylvania website they state H4 are for motorcycle use...... I'm a little confused, because when you remove the stock bulb and look on the back it states H4..... Im thinking there the same but im not sure.....
