All the bulb numbers are listed in the handbook. I tried different upgrade bulbs and found Osram Silverstar to be best option, matter of opinion though. Problem was they would always blow at least 1 pair a year and they get fairly expensive after a time and they aren't the easiest things to change with the lack of space. Now I've fitted HID's I don't have the hassle of bulbs popping and getting hacked off changing them, light is much better and then you'll get the mile long threads appearing about the legality of them or not, again another matter of opinion. Do a search, you'll find what I mean if you have not already done it.

Andy.

I used Philips Vision blue in mine and they were a vast improvement. No probs at all with blowing bulbs. I have a set for main beam if you're interested as I no longer have the car.

They are the main beam (HB3) Philips Blue Vision 9005 (HB3) 4000K Xenon/HID effect from Power Bulbs | Free Worldwide Delivery

Dipped beam are H1.

PIAA Extreme White Plus - big difference and no problems at all - had them for two years now. 55W but output is similar to 110W.

Got mine from demon tweeks and replaced just the main beam and fogs. Bulb types:

Get a decent HID kit and you'll never look back. They outlast halogens many times over and in many cases last the lifetime of the car.

For a single filament bulb, (Which yours are), I'd say get some of BOB's HID's.

I MIGHT even fit some onto the wife's Xantia yet...........

Go HID's mate they look the business and visabiltyat night is better than daylight, save your money and go for those, don't think I could own another car without HID's.

A good site to try is Autobulbs direct - big choice and will list the bulbs fitted to your car and upgrade options which are car specific - I shop there when needed....I have std factory HID's on my JDM with xenon side lights and uprated 100w main beam - HTH
