need bulb types for 2001 bugeye
 
So, all my bulbs seem to be slightly different colours of yellow. It looks a bit poo so I'm going to buy matching brand bulbs for my main,full beam, side and fog lights. Without taking it all apart to check the bulbs then buying them and taking it all apart agony to fit them, can someone just tell me what bulbs I need. I.e h1 etc.
I think a nice cool white would look better than yellow. I drive with my dogs and sides on all the time anyway.

Cheers.

Fogs and sides even!

If you have standard headlights, I believe that the bulbs are as follows:

Headlight: H4. (Does main and dip).
Sidelight: W5W (aka 501)
Foglight: H3.

But SURELY you don't want to bother with the foglights? They are useless, illegal to use except in fog, and look chavvy if used apart from that.;)

I have many different yellows :s I think it best to replace them all with a nice ice white like them halfords jobbies

OK. Your car.

For white sides, you may need LED's, the SMD type are best. I don't have them, my lights are to see by, and be seen by, not just "seen";)

Why waste fuel powering the useless "dogs" all the time ? ;)

They could be odd colours due to poor earthing, but Alcazar is right if your bug is a WRX, not fitted with aftermarket lights of some sort.
