Just a regular H-4 bulb available at any auto center. There are long threads on here about members using the PIAA bulbs and liking them.

Yell if you have problems getting into that bucket!

The stock H4 bulb is roughly about 890 Lumen output.

The PIAA bulb will be about the same. They have a little hotter filament but then they coat the glass that drops the lumen output back down to about what a normal H4 bulb is. The stock bulb draws about 5 amps of current and the HID kit draws 3.5 amps.

The 6000K HID kit is 2800 Lumen output
The 8000K HID kit is 2400 Lumen output
The 10000K HID kit is 1800 Lumen output

That should answer your question! :2thumbs:

Don't attempt to do a high wattage aftermarket bulb (80 or 100 watt), it will more than likely cook the EHC.
