Default light bulb numbers

am i correct in saying that the high beams, low beams, and fogs are all H7 bulbs?? the front signals are orange 1157?

and the reverse lights and the red bulbs in the tail lights are all clear 1156 bulbs? the rear signals are clear 1157?

Default high/low/fogs depend on the year of the car and if you had factory xenons but on the 99.5+ cars

the lowsand fogs are H7's for sure, unless you have xenon in which case the lows are D2S bulbs.
