Please confirm my research:

Total of 6 bulbs, 3 per headlight.

LOW BEAM H7
HIGH BEAM H1
FOG H1

My doubt is mostly related to Bosch vs Valeo headlights. I mean: do they use the same bulb specs ?
Thanks for your help.

I am in a trip in the US and the car & manual in Brazil.

Valeo is one of the brands of headlights used by Mercedes. The others are Bosch and (I am not sure) Hella.

That's my concern... I reached different conclusions depending on the way I do my research. This is probably related to some geographic market uniqueness.

I think I circumvented my problem: I have no conflicts on the hi and low beams. The fogs appear different.
So, given that fog is non-existant in the region I live I will simply forget about it.
Later I may change the fog bulbs as I do ocasional trips to regions affected by fog.
Thanks for you interest
