I bought some Sylvania HB5 9007 bulbs off ebay at a very good price to replace my existing headlight bulbs.
They've just arrived and they dont seem to have the same power pins on the back as the old lamp.
The headlight is the one big bulb that is in the large round section, yes?
Old bulb on left, new on right.
New blub on left, old on right here - different connections on the bottom although there are still 3 pins.
Have I bought the wrong bulbs? The existing one says H4 not H5.

The one you boght are not for the aplication you have (Are Wrong). The original ones are H4 and that is what you have to look for. The new ones are 9007 which fit my 2001 lanos.
Well you have two things to do.
first buy a new ones H4 from your local auto store. (Preferred)
or, look at your local auto store for a replacement plug,
you have to cut the old plug and attached the one for the 9007 bulb.
(Requires medium skill level)
That is up to you. But if I were you I buy new H4.

I got some new H4's which fitted perfectly.
Oh well, anyone want some Sylvania 9007 going cheap?
