Are yours the H1 style?

I would just use regulars. I put the HID'S in mine.

I don't know what H1 Style is. They use the same bulbs as the headlights I took out. The one on the inside is 9006HB3 E13 2B5 DOT 12V 60W M0494and the one on the outside of the car is HB4 9006 DOT 12V 55W C1007.

OK because both of the sets of headlights I bought use H1 bulbs.

If you want to you can use the more expensive bulbs if you want. The jewel type puts the light out pretty good. Better than the OEM.

I went with some cheaper sylvania bulbs. Guy said they will last longer the Silverstars, are brighter and whiter than what I had but not a bright as Silverstarts. Here is a picture of the front of the car with the new headlights. It's fillthy dirty cause it's snowing like crazy here right now. I will be replacing the trim pieces under the headlights with solid ones and the yellow part of the bumper will be getting repainted when I get the other body work done. But you can get a feel for the look of the lights.
