Default Headlight bulbs...HELP!!
I thought I had H1 lows and H7 highbeams in my '97 but when I opened my new xenon imitation bulbs the H1's only have one prong on the back where both my current high and lows are 2 prongers. Should I use the H7's for both my high and low beams?

Some hyper-whites I got on ebay. What wattage did you get? Both H7's? Are the Philips like the xenon ones?

The H1's in the two piece lamps are for the fog lights. High's and Low's are H7's.
