Default Headlight question

help! I'm so confused. I've searched..but the more I look, the more confused I get.
I went to the auto part store close to me today to get some new brighter/whiter headlights for my 06 xB. The guy at the store told me I needed these...and he handed me the silverstar 9006 ST lights, so I bought them. I was going to put them in tonight, but I got on here before I went to install them to see what they looked like...and every post says for the headlights I need the 9003's, and that the 9006's are for foglights. But I saw posts where people put the 9006's in their xB.. Is that right? Are these ment for foglights? If I install the 9006 ST's will that mess anything up?

i need someone to clear this up for me before i install these.
thanks for your time.

I used 9003's for my headlight bulbs.

1157's for the turn signals.

SCION xB

High & low beam headlamp

Thank you Tomas. Looks like i'm making another trip to the auto store tomorrow. Do the 9003's look much better than the stock headlights? Thanks again.

I rolled up on one of my buddies sitting on a corner talking on his cellphone and shined my brights on him. He thought i was a cop.


Yeah...they're gooooood.

The 'stock' bulbs are no slouches, but the 9003STs are certainly brighter and whiter. :D
