FINAL WORD on the H1R1 bulb

[MAT666]

Hi Guys,

Ive left this too long, but I really want to replace my high beam H1R1. Either HID or a Phillips bulb.

Ive tried the H3, and doesnt fit. Ive read posts, but to me they seem to dance around a final answer.

Which HID / bulb will replace/easily fit my 2007 sx6?

Just for correction, the bulb is a HIR1 type. Much easier to find information when you get the name right.

Anyways, the HIR1 bulb is a replacement for the HB3 bulb, which has a much different base to the H3 bulb you tried. Information can be found within the following thread:

Headlight Bulb Upgrade

Due to minor variation, you may need to modify the upper tab and/or the socket on the bulb to make it fit, but it still is the HB3 that is the alternative to the HIR1.
