    what kind of headlight do you have? is this ebay? Why do you have 3 bulbs? if i remember correctly for mine it was the h4 for high/low and the fog was h1 i think? or h3 i'm not sure about the fog but i know my high/low is h4.

    easy way is to just take out your bulb and see what it says on the bulb..
