Default Definitive what bulbs are what on D3.

What are the bulbs on the D3 non xenon model.

Want to upgrade all of mine so a list would be really nice and a link to the how to change.

I've tried looking but it throws up different answers.

Twin halogen headlights are:
Dip - H7-12V-55W
High - H7-12V-55W
Side - W5W-12V5W
Indicator - two yellow 12V16W

What are you thinking of upgrading to?

W5W (T10) on mine, but check non standard replacements are not too fat as they will foul on the 'cage' inside.

You do not need to adjust lights if you lowered front and rear by the same amount.
