HIGH beam is H7. the city light bulb size/type is H6W in bayonet base for OEM
headlight, but may also be W5W wedge base if you have aftermarket headlight,
eg Depo.

whereas the H7 is removed by unclipping wire retainer (somewhat 2 piece), the
city light stays with the plastic base. you grip and twist the base and remove
base/bulb from the headlight reflector together.



H6W


W5W

Haha raymond, I found that out the hard way. I looked up the city light bulb and waited a week to get it. I bought the bolarg "blue" ones from this internet site. I got it, took apart my headlight, and THEN I realized that my depo projector doesn't use the same as the oem bulbs.

That pissed me off, but luckily, i went to a local auto shop and they had the same bulb i ordered but with the depo type end tip. So it's all good
and this is what it looks like:
