Default UK 300 Lights / Prodrive Headlights bulbs?

Hi,

Im having some trouble identifying bulb type in my WRX 2002 bug eye wagon. It has the black UK 300 style headlights (i think thats what they are called) and read somewhere they were made by hella but I cant work out what bulbs will be needed to replace my sidelight bulbs as they are coroded and I cant see the numbers on them. They are not the wedge / push fit style as in the originals. Can anyone shed some light for me? Would also be handy if some one new what dipped beam bulbs are in there too (save me getting hands dirty twice)

I think so. The lights have Hella lenses and the sidelight bulbs may well be T4W's as they have a bayonet type fitting and are quite small.

If you dont get an answer by later on tonight I will have a look at mine when I get home.
They are the prodrive lights I fitted LED's but will still be able to tell you the type you need

Cool I'll give 233's a try. I want to put LEDs in too but have bought so many assuming they will fit that I just need to find the right type and stop wasting money buying things that don't fit lol.

When I fitted the Led's they didnt pull enough current to work so I wired in relays but I think you can but them that will work without these.

LED's only work one way around not like bulbs, if they don't work first time worth checking.
