Questions about low beam bulbs

Hello

When low beams on on. I know the two outside bulbs are H7's...

But I also notice that there is a small bulb in the two INNER lights. They don't illuminate very bright… but at a dim shade.. while low-beams are on.

Question is.. what type of bulb is that in the INNER light? Oo==oO ( Ox==xO ) <--- those ones.
Is that the high beam bulb? What type is that bulb? H7 too? Thanks for the input

the are variations of T4W bulbs. technically these are classified as side bulbs. however, the mb bulb is a staggered pin bulb, meaning that when u are looking at the bulb from top to bottom, the pinns are staggered w/ one higher than the other. the classic T4W bulbs, when you go to any automotive store are at the same level/ side by side. i changed the bulb out to a plasma blue one by clipping off one of the pins and inserting it into the socket and hoping it would illuminate... guess what.... it worked..

depends on what model your car is i think


on my 320, the inner light bulb are called "H6W"
so if you can find that light bulb model, you should have no problem replacing the bulbs at all

hope this helps ^^

I've checked, and very few places have them. You can probably find them on the internet though.
