What bulb goes here?

Bought the car, and for some reason the housings had no high beams, or whatever bulb goes here. Sylvania's book at the local auto parts store has nothing useful :-/

Did you buy the car used? Because for some reason a couple of the evos here have the same headlight. It doesent seem to be a factory headlight? These evos were in a front end collision. And the body shop didnt want to spend more than a thousand dollars on hid headlights, so they bought knock offs.

Hmmmm it IS used, carfax was clean, but that housing has a empty socket, and there is a plug directly behind it. There is supposed to be a light in there, the housing also has a reflector inside, and the light cuttoff deal inside too. Ideas? Should I run to an auto parts store and get the fog bulb and try it out? My car also has a fog switch on the dash....

It has the fog lamps. I tried bulbs until one fit lol. It's not listed in the book at all, but the housing takes an H11, and there is a switch on the dash for the fogs. Oddly enough the Sylvania book lists the H3-55w as the fog for the Evo's... and the H11 is the composite for the Evo 8.

Whatever. I got it lol. Thanks!
