Hey Manny,
H1 in the lows, H3 for highs.
As long as they are true Hella Dual Rounds.
Later,

Nater

Indeed they are true, no lying in my Hellas!

Is there a specific wattage for the H1 bulbs?  I am not well versed in
lighting.

Just plain old 55W babies.
I wouldn't go any higher than that unless you want to add a relay and some heavier duty wiring.
But stock wattage is 55W and most places (pep boys, autozone, etc..) will have them in the 55W
variety.
I upgraded my high beams to 100W and pep boys had them in stock.  I also upgraded my wiring to
handle the added power.
Manny, if you run 100W in your low beams you run a risk (very high risk) of melting some wiring if
you do not add a nice heavy duty relay to your setup.
But you don't need to b/c oem wattage is 55W.
Talk to you later,

Nater
