Default actually I just looked at mine again and they are both H7s but the problem is...

that one of the H7 bulbs I got from my 2 piece does not fit into the lowbeams of my projectors. Just for reference, they both of the same pins but 1 is a ricer Xenon bulb while the other is a Halogen. Ricer bulb is larger than the other.

Default I am not sure which kind they are cuz I got them a ong time ago...

but they should be very similar to hyper ones. Now my question is what kind of hyper white or Xenon bulbs can I get for a replacement? The light output comparing to my normal halogen is like night and day. I just want to get some Hi-votage bulb to some hi output of light.
