Which bulb do I need?

I'm pretty lost as to which bulb it is that I need to replace a busted headlight bulb. Its the bulb on the right side, on low beam setting. The car is a 2003 sedan. Any advice as to the best way of going about fixing this before I get a ticket would be greatly appreciated.

Since you have an 03.5, I'm going to assume you mean the HID bulbs (unless I'm mistaken).

I believe there is DIY in the lighting section, too lazy to search myself, but you should be able to find it without too much trouble. I'd replace both bulbs for the sake of it (Philips would be my bulb of choice).

Its a pretty easy install if i remember correctly: just peel the inner wheel lining away, turn the bulb so it comes out, make sure you dont touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands (so you dont contaminate it with your skin's oil), and you should be good.

Best Regards,
DGx

Take the bulb out of the headlight and put it under your pillow before you go to sleep tonight. When you wake up you'll be more then surprised at the result.

If you have HIDs (the blue/white ones) you need a D2R. They come in Kalvin ratings, each K rating is a different colour. The lower the number the warmer the colour the higher the number the cooler. 3000=yellow 12=purple. I recommend 6000k they are a light blue that isn't stupidly blue.

Non-HID H1 you're on your own they all look pretty bunk.

If they are HID's you should change both as HID bulbs lose color as they age. The new one may not match the 6-7 year old bulb you still have.

Drive with your fog lights on for now. Most people don't know they are fogs anyway
