Does anyone know what car/s a type 472 headlight bulb fits?
Its from halfords but I'm not sure what car its for. Maybe a Vectra B?
Don't want to throw it out in case it's useful!
Thanks

I have just had a look in my garage and I have a box for a 477sb super blue( Halfords brand) If yours is the Pre-Facelift ( your avatar looks like it) you need H7 for both dip and full beam.

Type 472 is more commonly known as a H4 headlight bulb. Basically any headlight that takes a twin filament dipped and mainbeam headlight bulb - which the Vectra-C & B doesn't.

I thought the number sounded familier. That is why I looked to see the number on the Halfords bulb I had for the Vectra B 477.
