H4 would fit your corsa b i don't think the others would. the others have different pin fitments i think. people will correct me if im wrong but i know H4 fits cos i got some ice blue bulbs for my corsa b to give that blue shine from my headlights.
hope that has helped

corsa-sxi - Yeah they cost more, but you do get allot more light on the road, as they make the road 60% brighter..... my dad has them fitted to his vectra and they do make a big difference when your driving at night.....

I was thinking of getting some, but I might go for the Ice Blue or Ice White look, as you get a bit more light on the road, but they are also good for styling

Quick STUPID question, would I need two packs to change all the bulbs, IE so dipped and main been where Zenon Bulbs, as My dad needed to buy 2sets (4bulbs) for his vectra.... cheers.

Also..... can you change the fog light bulbs to Ice Blue/Ice White to match the main headlight.... (IE so they all give off the same colour) if so what size bulbs would they need??

If you want main beam ones done then have to get 2 sets... tbh you're never really using main beam that much unless doing alot of country driving etc... I got 2 sets, but only really needed main bulbs changed...

I dont know for sure but most fog-lamps as H3 fitment...

are the 100w blue ones legal??

I like the ice blue ones also, and you can get Ice blue sidelights, what would I need.... T4W / W5W?? are they worth getting, or should I just stick with 2sets of H7's and forget about getting the sidelights (only £2.99)

going to be going out very soon, so please help as soon as you can.

Cheers

100w Blueys aint road legal, but aint been bothered by police once about em...
They jus put more of a daylight light on the road which i reckon is safer if anything...

Ive got the sidelights too, 5w ones, might aswell get em, cheap but nor really noticable when light is on!
