ah yes i forgot the 07's had dual headlights, but it doesn't use an H4 bulb... it uses 9006 for low beam and 9005 for high beam...

so you think the reason why i blew a fuse in my last car was because of the wrong bulb size?

if you were using HID's then i wouldn't see how that would cause it to blow a fuse, As they are all basically the same bulb, just different connection for the housing. but if they were on and you unplugged then plugged it back in that can cause it to blow a fuse,
