just a question which may be stupid...

my low beam lights are hb4 and my high beams are hb3.
is the wattage of the high beams higher than the ones
for low beams or are they the same and the difference
is due to the design of the light housing only?
(the bulbs dont have the wattage listed there)

im planning to change the bulbs soon :D

I'd check with your owner's manual.

Either that or the PO installed something else?
