Default Not sure of replacement bulb

Sorry, this might seem like a dumb question, but I do not know what type of bulb to replace for my headlights.

2004 s type 3.0
On the bulb itself, I see:

1 H [015]

Tried looking at ebay, but no such bulb there. Wondering if there is a different type of bulb I can use. Thanks.

Attached are pictures of ballast and bulb.
I know ballast is good, because I swapped it for the working driver side ballast.

See if anyone else has info but to me that looks like an aftermarket one.
You can ask any Jag franchise or email jag themselves (easiest) and ask for your car's full build spec. Useful data and will say which lights it shipped with.

Definitely aftermarket.

Here's the exact same kit on Ebay: Xeno HID Kit H1 H3 H6M H4 H7 H8 H11 9004 9005 9006 9007 D2S D2R 6000K H9 H10 H13 | eBay

The problem you will have is matching the color of the bulb itself if nothing is stated on the burned out one.

For the bulbs only: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-HID-Bulbs-...018ba7&vxp=mtr

Says it isn't compatable for my car.

Has anyone installed an aftermarket hid kit? If so which bulb fits?

I googled the h 015 and the website I found sells them in sets of 10

Edit:
Nvm. Just struck me to check the manual. D2s for anyone else who might need it.

Well, yes, for an OE HID, which you don't have.
It's no good checking what fits "your car" or any S-Type when you don't have the OE install.

Ahh I see. The seller told me it will fit since it will have the connections to fit the ballast. Guess I'll find out in a few days and update then.

Correct. Said he just need the stock bulb size, so he can provide a proper aftermarket bulb that will fit.

OK. Ok. So I read the book wrong.

D2S is the high beam bulbs.

But only a $14 mistake.



The correct bulb is an H7.
