Default Which Globes??

I intend to upgrade the headlight globes in my AU Fairlane, however i'm confused what size they are.
I think the high/low beam are H4 ??
Driving lights are H1 or H7 ??
Also any advise on brands and wattage ??

Here's the reference to "what and where" - http://www.fordforums.com.au/vbporta...article&id=567

People have different preferences for globes.

I recently changed the globes in my FG to Philips Extreme Vision (http://www.performancelub.com/Philips%20Bulbs.htm) and I'm happy with them. Prices at the bottom of that page are about half what I paid at Autobarn.

i`m a big fan of the +100% type globes as well, i have similar globes to RonWest except in the Narva brand, very happy with them, and they draw the same amount of current as the standard globes=win win.
Edit : i paid about $62 from super cheap for a pair of H4`s :( , RonWest your the man!

Cheers mik

Did you have to readjust your headlights after fitting the Narvas?

My high beam (on FG) was too high after fitting the Philips.
No big deal but curious about your experience.
