The owner's manual gives details and graphical illustrations showing how to change light bulbs of headlight, signal lights, cargo lights.... but not the standard, is it H4?
What is the standard of headlight low beam bulb?

oh, btw, the reason why i am changing those bulbs is because regular bulbs will usually cause fogginess to the headlight cover. and i think bulbs are cheaper, right?

H7 is correct..You have to pop off the hard black plastic piece from the factory & re-connect it to your new bulbs.

oh, thnx, just checked with canadian tire, no stock on h7s, darn it...
Why do so many people have problems with their headlights? My driver side one is almost 3 years old, and my passenger side is closing in on 2 years.
Of course, now that I have said that I have a feeling that I will be digging around in there shortly.

My mom's P5 is the same way, 4 years old and still stock head lights. I'm not sure why, I replace them w/o touching the bulbs, make sure that everything's secure, tried different brands of bulbs etc. Still to no avail. I do notice that when I turn my lights on then the car, there is a rather large change in brightness, I've always wondered if that's the cause, never been able to find out though.
Anyone have any thoughts?
And euro is same, but H1 for high beam.
It seems that you don't find H7 bulbs so easily? Here allmost every newer car uses H7's. Older cars have H4, but they also have low- and high-beam in same headlight.
Just curious.. What you consider short time for headlamp? I had some Philips "super white +90% more light" -bulbs, and they lastet ~3 months. Now I have some Osram Longlife's and they are getting 1 year old..
