The headlights are a 9003 or an h4, same thing, just different names. I dont think that there is a bulb for us out in the Ultra's yet. Or I havent spotted one yet. Good Luck

That is news to me... I have ran about 4 different brands of h4 bulbs in my xB, not to mention h4 HIDs, What kind of problems did they have?

My Girlfriends Protege MP3 uses a 9003, and She has a set of h4 HIDs in there, we have run silverstars, Nokyas, and Luminics in her housings also.

I wonder if their problems were caused by user error?

well in L4rry_B1rd defense, 9003/H4 are much harder to install in our cars than say 9007's in my wifes lancer, they just clip right in, the 9003/h4 have those stupid prongs and on the xb that huge rubber grommet

thats prob it then. I havent personally installed bulbs in mine, planning to but not yet. I talked to someone that bought H4 and said that he was dissapointed that the bulbs didnt fit.

from your description though, it sounds like user error is prb the problem. Ive changed 9006 bulbs, but not 9003.

also the space behind our headlights is quite cramped, limited to those with small child like hands, which accounts for the scrapes on my hands when I was done.
