What bulb for IPF's on ARB Sahara?

I have to replace one of the bulbs in the IPF's on my Sahara. I was hoping to have one in hand when I chisle the ice off instead of running to the part store when I get a part number. Just saves some headache....


Anyways, anyone know off the top of their heads? I'm assuming an h3 55w, but I want to make sure.


Thanks!

Cool!! Thanks guys! I'll be sure to check for moisture while I'm in there.

BTW Filthy - Any tricks to taking them out? Just glancing at them it almost looks like you have to take the whole assembly out to get to the bulbs.

^^^
it is much easier to take the assembly out. It is only 3 10mm nuts on the backside of the light insert. Pull the fog and take it inside to swap it out. It shold only take 15 minutes or so for the entire job.

pull the fog assembly - the 4 screws that attach the fog to the composite insert - i don't pull the whole insert, just the fog assembly. it's a BITCH to lay on your back and swap one out w/ the way it's designed.

also DO NOT USE A 100W H3 in there, it will discolor the chrome reflector - don't ask me how i know that one.

:pat:
