Ohh i was confused then....I didn't realize H1 is HID

I haven't kept up with lighting up at all..

So 4 H7's and 2 H3's (9006) is all we need for low, high and fogs?

What size are the city lights that you ordered from them. I sent them an email asking about the size 2825 which is the city light bulb size, no? and they didn't know what I was talking about.

you'd need a 25w/25ohm resistor.
