9003 and H4 are the exact same thing, just different names.

H7 are single filament bulbs.

Those bulbs are awesome, I'm running the Philips Vision Plus and they are comparable to the GEs. I had the Osram Silverstars before the Philips and they were pretty good at making the light reach down the road more, but weren't all that bright.

9003 and H4 are virtually the same bulb, but I think the H4 bulbs are made to a different spec than the 9003.
