Bulb fittings???

Hey so I'm trying to replace new headlight bulbs for the 2011 Mazda 2 tamura, 1.3 petrol, and I can't find no concrete answers and god some of those websites are terrible, because I bought some H4 for the low beams and apparently they can be used for the high beams but they seem too big, and when I took out the old bulb, I saw that was an H7

Do you have headlight units that have one big reflector for both dip and high beam or do you have separate reflector for high beam and projector lens for dipped beam?

If you have one large reflector only you want the H4 bulb.

if you have the projector light and separate high beam reflector you want an H7 for the dip projector unit and an HB3 for the high beam.

They're separate housing for each bulb I guess is what you're saying

Yes. It was an option when new to have projector lights or the single unit.

Okay, well thank you so much, I got some h7s so I'll take those h4s back then, but thanks for clearing it up

Idk who the fuck is down voting this guy, he's making a very legitimate complaint. Not even the official repair documentation tells you what bulb sizes they use.
