Default headlight bulb replacement

hello everyone. My mom owns a 2000 ES300 and I want to swap out her yellow headlight & foglight bulbs out with Silverstars. I read here in the car manual that the headlight bulbs are H7 and foglights are H3. But I don't understand when they say H7 bulbs are Type C and fog light bulbs are Type D. It may be a stupid or a simple question but I don't wanna end up buying something that doesn't fit my mom's car. I'm researching before I buy and I'm sure that all of you are for that. So please help me choose.

are these okay for foglights?
are these okay for headlights?

Thanks in advance.

You got the bulb types right (H7 for headlights, H3 for foglights). Don't worry about the types 'C' and 'D' mentioned in the owner's manual; that's just written for the purpose of the manual. The bulbs on Ebay are perfect for your mom's '00 ES. Good luck with the bidding
