Default High beam & fog light bulb #

I am looking to change my high beams and fogs to match the HID low beams. I need to confirm the bulb part numbers. I have found that the high beams are H9 bulbs and fogs are H10 bulbs. Can somebody please confirm that info as correct or incorrect. I have a non site vendor I work with a lot, who has both in HID conversion kits but he can't be 100% sure that is what I need

Thanks

Looks correct to me.

You did not say what year but it can be verified here:

Yes high beam is H9 and fog light is H10 or 9145.

If you want to match OEM in color temp. it's 4300K.

HID high beams are usually discouraged because you lose the flash-to-pass capability, somewhat.

Use the Search function for tips on the install, ballast locations, etc. It's a well discussed topic.

Good Luck.

Yup, that's why the high beams are regular halogen...HID lights don't like quick on and off cycles.
I did a thread on this a few years ago...

These are Hoen H10 XENON MATCH ($30) and H9 XENON MATCH PLUS ($37). These are NOT HID, just replacement bulbs designed to match the stock low beam HID's. Not bad for $75. In my eyes a nearly perfect match.
