I posted this up in the lighting forum, but those forums never get much traffic.....and I'm kinda in a rush, I hope you guys understand.

I was wondering what kind of bulbs the headlights use....mainly, the projection bulbs. I take it that they have:

1) a highbeam bulb
2) a lowbeam bulb
3) a marker bulb

I'm referring to the Canadian spec m3. I actually have a set of H4's ("9003") Sylvania Coolblues left over from my EL that I would like to keep....if not, I'm selling them (hence my hurry to know the specs for the headlights).

I'm assuming that the H4's won't work, since they're a combo of high and low beams....and the m3 has separate bulbs for the high/low beams.

Hey man I can check for you once I get my M3. It wil probably say on the manual.

 

[Levitron]

Thanks

BTW, are you still getting it from metro?

The high beams and low beams are two separate bulbs (like BMWs) - turned them on on Friday when I saw the GS. Don't know the spec though...

And don't worry, the lights foum gets traffic too.

 

[Levitron]

I will find out the specs by tomrorow!

In the MZ6 it's H1's for the high and low, 194's (I think) for the signals. I wonder how similar it is.

 

[Levitron]

Might be the same....who knows.

Got the specs:

Low beams: H7
High beams: HB3
Fog lights: H11

This is from my Canadian m3.

That's fast info lor I didn't get a chance to read the manual yet and too bad yu couldn't keep your bulbs from your EL.

 

[Levitron]

Yeah, it's too bad.

I wish I could just use my CoolBlues....they were quite good.

is HB3 = 9005?
I have a set of 9005 left from my Integra, if I can use them it'll be great

 

[bluong1]

is HB3 = 9005?

yes

 

[FR3D]

thx!

 

[mazta]

for the 9005, is 65w safe?

 

[Leiger 4]

this is good to know, i was thinking of getting the Sylvania silverstars for my car

 

[M3-GT]

5w difference is fine.

Got the specs:

Low beams: H7
High beams: HB3
Fog lights: H11

This is from my Canadian m3.

Assuming it's the same in US, does that mean I could get both H11 and H7 (55w) fog light pairs from Hoen?

Or will that H11 not fit in the projector because it's labled as "fog light?"

Just wondering.

H11 and H7 bulbs will fit in H11 and H7 sockets. H11 is normally installed in car's fog lights. That's why they are labeled that way. H7 and H11 are just sizes. You can buy them in Europe , us, or Canada and they will fit your car.
