If you have one bulb for each beam, then it will be H1. If one bulb does both, it will be H4.

Fit some SuperHIDs, they are like night and day: https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...idelights.html

There were quite a few different light specs for bugeye's, ranging from standard to STi to UK300 to Prodrive and after-market Morrette's. I believe the standard headlights are H4's. But its easy enough to go check.

Standard....


Morrette's....


JDM....


Prodrive.....


If you're considering HID's then THESE are well respected. Please remember though that using non OE HID lights which have not been fitted with self-leveling and washer-jets, and used in the wrong kind of headlight design may be illegal on the public highway, and could fail an MOT or roadside inspection.

Its going to either be a H4 or a H7, both are easily identified when you look under the bonnet
H4:


H7:
