Allow me to clarify this a bit.....
H-4 and 9003 are actually the same bulb in the sense that they are physically interchangeable. Originally, there was just the H-4 which was used mainly in European cars. However, when US manufacturers wanted to use the H-4 bulb, it did not meet US standards because the manufacturing specs of the light beam aming portion of the bulb was not tight enough. So, a new, tighter manufacturing spec was created and the bulb was named "9003" However a qualty H-4 bulb such as PIAA have their own tighter specs and its beam aiming is just as good as a 9003. So, the Yaris will accept either a 9003 or a quality H-4 bulb. I would just stay away from "bargin" H-4 bulbs as you don't know what you are getting. Personally, I'm currently using "PIAA Xtreme White Plus" H-4 and the aiming is spot on. Last edited by RedRide; 10-06-2010 at 12:38 PM. |
