The replacement lamps for S13's are H6054's I believe.

there's HID upgrades on ebay if that's what you want. otherwise? it's a truck headlight. same as in most trucks, ford probes, and fc's. Silverstar does make a replacement bulb, not the hid conversion (tho like i said you could get that too) tehy're $20 ea. at pepboys. i chose to go w/ 2x. bright for $20/pr. *shrugs* but then i'm a cheap *** & go for performance mods over how much i can blind other drivers.

the silverstars are nice, very non rice and dont have the blinding blue light. Cool thing about the sealed beams is that you get upgraded high and low beams for the same price as just 1 for normal setups. So to answer your question, you change the whole light, not just the bulb unless you get the h4 conversion housings from pdm or ebay.

ive been having my silverstars for a long time and i will tell you what. i wont use nothing less unless i switch to them h4's or something. i believe KD is correct on the coding for the lamps. double check on the numbering when u are at an autozone/pep boys in the lighting code for cars. its worth it =D
