You can fit them but don't these bulbs have different filiments in them.

H4/HB2/9003 are the same. You may see slight variations in wattage but nothing more.

lol Alan that was what I was asking. They will fit in the socket but don't then have different filiments or something?

So it is the 9003 and not the 9004? Dave also is it more wattage or less?

thats the 9004 and the 9003/h4/hb2 sockets. see the difference.

but yea jason, sorry for the confusion. the 9003 and hb2 bulbs i have, have 2 different filiments. one for the low beam and one for the high. kinda like our 1157 turn signal bulbs. one for parking and one for the turn signals

9004/H7 bulbs are completely different from ours, yet still they are dual filament bulbs.

Here is a some background on 9003/Hb2/H4 headlight bulb designations.
