2002-2004 SiR Bulbs
I just wrote a huge post and it got eaten so i'll keep this short and sweet.
I have two souces online saying I need 9006 or 9005 bulbs and I've looked through the headlight and I read 9003... now I went to the store and 9003 are like the hardest to find here, so i'll have to order away... now I want to be damn sure i'm getting the right model and some decent lights.
Please Help.

just take off the bulb and look, or just look through the headlight from the front. all bulbs are required to have the type and wattage on them.

I think it transfer into glare and effective lighting distance issue....H4 is essentially an ECE light and 9003 is the DOT light and therefore it's illegal to use H4 in U.S. theoretically.....What I mean is that there's NO DOT H4 bulb (H4 and DOT mark alone), but there can be "H4 ECE 9003 (HB2) DOT" bulb (has both H4 and 9003 (or HB2), plus ECE and DOT mark all together) and "9003 DOT" or "HB2 DOT"...HB2 is just another name for 9003....
