Default xB bulb size?

Hi, I will be getting a polar white xB soon, and I want to roll out of the dealer lot with HIDs, so I was wondering if you guys could tell me what bulb size the xB uses, is it H4?

to do this properly you would need a bi-xenon hid setup, unless you're planning to retrofit something else?

if i remember correctly the headlight bulb is also used for hibeaming, so you would lose that without a bi-xenon kit...

I'm not so sure about that. Apparently 9003 and H4 fit the same, but have different beam dispersion patterns. xB should have a 9003 only.

I hope Chucksu has her knowledge cap on.....Chucksu can you find the post where this was discussed???

FYI, im a guy . A little searching for the word bulb brings up these links:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...highlight=bulb <-talks a little about HID
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...highlight=bulb <-a 9004 & 9003 talk
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...highlight=bulb <- I think this is what might help about bulb size.
