xenon bulbs

[ETCMJF]

What size bulbs are headlights? I just took delivery of my convertible, and would like to upgrade the bulbs. I think they're H4's. Is that the correct size?

They are H7. But you cant just swap out halogen bulbs for Xenons. You need to installs Ballasts, as Xenon's dont have filaments and need a source of high voltage to ignite the gas.

Thanks for the info PassionforPassionCT. I think I'll just replace the bulbs with ones with a more blue/ white tint, instead of going for the Xenon system.

OK, I replaced the H7 bulbs, no problem. But now I want to change the amber 194 parking light bulbs, and I can't figure out how to remove the bulbs. How do you get the bulbs out?
