Default Headlight bulb

Hi
This may seem like a daft question, but what is the headlamp bulb number for the dipped beam, most common is H7/H4 but aren't these lights bi- xenon.
My lights have the cornering feature not sure if helps at all.
The N/S has a light blue colour which I don't like, the O/S has a new headlamp not sure about the bulbs as garage fitted this.

I hope that I've given someone the info that could tell me.

I could of course take the bulb out, but its cold and I have a very long list of jobs on this car before I can go spending money on such luxuries.

Thanks
David

I believe if they are Xenon then you need D2S

Check here, it's fairly accurate

Thanks

I bought these...

They work fine, but not worth the extra money as I can't really see any difference in brightness or whiteness over stock, I hoped they would be as white and bright as new cars with HIDs. I got them from Amazon (amazon themselves not a marketplace seller)
