Bulb questions for 2005

I have searched and found different answers so here it goes. The stock low and highs are both H7's? The fog lamps I have seen listed as an H3 or a 9006 are those the same bulbs or is one of them wrong. Thanks in advance!

I don't think the H3 is the same bulb, or anywhere near close.

The manual says a HB4. Is that the same as a regular H4?

No H4 is different than HB4. But HB4 is equivalent to 9006, which is what you'd need for your fogs. I just installed mine yesterday.

I got yellow bulbs for my fogs and I went with MTEC's 9006 Golden Ion.
