Any mechanics?

I just bought some replacement bulbs for the dipped beam headlights on my Mazda3 TS 2007 and my Peugeot 206 HDi 2003.

Both manuals specify a H7 55w bulb, which is what I ordered, however both seem to be completely wrong.

After removing the bulb on the 206 it says it is an H4 and has 3 pins (after some research this seems to be a dual filament bulb for low and high beam) and the Mazda bulb appears to be the same general look as the H7 but the prongs are about twice as large and spaced apart as the H7, it also has no identification as to what the bulb actually is.

I am going to hopefully get them exchanged however want to make sure I get it right this time, any help much appreciated!

Nevermind, I am mentally deficient.

Peugeot bulb is definitely wrong but the Mazda had an extra fitting to remove.

Ignore me, nothing to see here... :D :oops:
