I'm away from home so can't check, but need to order some bulbs for my wife's car. 1999 Mk2. Are they H4? Or H7?

Any suggested upgrade makes, for better lighting?

TIA!

Thanks. Thought they were, but my wife was telling me that a website she was trying to order from said H7.

Guess I'll be ordering some for her.

Halfords often list the wrong bulbs for the various MX5 models. Someone once told me that they get the information from an industry wide database. If that's true, then it's not unlikely that a lot of websites will have the wrong bulbs listed.

Correct but they don't use H7 either. They use HB3/HB4 wink

Just ordered some Osram +110% white light ones in H4. Cheers guys.

PS anyone got a Mk4? Think the wife is going to get one next year, or when our lovely little Mk2 give up the ghost.
