Halogens:
Foglamps - H3c
Hi/Lo - H4

Dual Projectors:
Lowbeams - H3c
Highbeams - H3
Foglamps - H3c

Triple Projectors:
Lowbeams - H1
Highbeams - H3
Foglamps - H3c

There it is.
for the turnsignal/marker lights (side lights, not bumper), it's just 194 wedge bulbs.

got this from faq's...I know your looking for a place to buy the h10 but that doesn't seem like the right one, according to this post...good luck

It may say H10 or H11 on the bulb, but the FAQ lists the correct part number.

If you have problems finding H3C, you can easily convert it to H3 by hooking the ground terminal to the ring located on the metal housing that holds the bulb. Look for it and you will see it. It took me several days and some helping before I realised it was in front of me, but it should be easy for you to find.

i always thought the inside was a high beam, i must have my lights wired up wrong,thanks for the info.

Outside is high/low
Inside is secondary High

When you click your highbeams on, all 4 lights should be on.

4? i thought there was only 3? do any of you know what wires(colors) go to what? b/c i got the frontend w/o the ends of the conection harness( meaning no plug and play)

3? There are two lights in each housing, 2 housings = 4 lights. Now if you are referring to filaments, then yes there are 3 inside each housing, however when high beams are on there should 2 filaments lit in each housing. The High beam filament in the outside light, and the only filament in the inside light. Confused?

no i see what you mean, but like i said the lights came with no conector just the wires, it seems they cut the plugs off? does anyone know what wires control what as far as lighting fixtures? i can turn the lights on and off but cant get all to stay on when i hit the hi.
