Default 98 Low beam bulb pattern?
I was reading the forums looking for the replacement bulb pattern for my low beams since one burnt out. Someone mentioned h7 so I went and bought that size only to find out they don't fit my car. Does anyone know the correct size? Thanks

It should be H7 for the low beam. 9005 for the High Beam

Remember, The H7 bulb has a black plastic piece on it that needs to be removed from the old bulb, and installed on the new....
