Headlight & foglight bulb question

[VaultTec]

So I'm trying to replace the headlight and foglight bulbs on my 2016 SE only I'm confused by what the handbook is telling me. What is the difference between a bulb number and bulb type? They're 2 different things. For the fog lights where the bulb number would be it's blank, but the bulb type is H16. Now I don't know which headlight bulb I'm (between type A or B) which A is 9003 / Hb2 and B is Blank / HIR2.

Okay the bulb for an SE is a 9012 it's a single filament bulb. Do not buy a 9003 it won't work. The fog light bulbs are h16

What was wrong with the OEM bulbs? Going for a whiter/brighter light output?

Yes. I dislike the idea that I bought a "SE" that comes with projectors, LED Drls and a light bar but it comes with those ugly factory bulbs (the color). All my cars have HIDs either factory or aftermarket with the exception with my mr2. Only because I want to keep that stock. I'm getting HIDs later today and will post photos of the install in case others are curious.

Yeah I have HIDs in my SE and it's a major difference
