they should use the same bulbs that you would use with your factory headlights. those are 9003. i bought hyperwhites before and they were called H4, but it is the same thing.

I think the projectors have different bulbs. Try searching... I don't think they use H4.

The turn signal and the parking light bulbs are the same. However, for these you need a different high and low beam bulb, and those are H1 and H3's. Stock uses H4, which is high and low beam.

Yup he was right.. The parking lights and the turn signals are the same.. But the high and low beams are different.. They use H1 and H3.. I went through all the confusion for weeks before I finally bought mine.

If it is a U.S. specification vehicle and you look on the lens, you should see a reference to an "HB" number (i.e., HB1, HB2, etc.) or it will say H4, H7, H1, etc. You can cross reference this information as follows:
HB1 is also referred to as a 9004 bulb
HB2/9003 is also referred to as an H4 bulb
HB3 is also referred to as a 9005 bulb
HB3A is also referred to as a 9005XS bulb
HB4 is also referred to as a 9006 bulb
HB4A is also referred to as a 9006XS bulb
HB5 is also referred to as a 9007 bulb
H1, H3 and H7 are referred to as such
HID D2R or D2S are referred to as such
