Headlight Bulbs?

My outer bulb went on my 91 camaro, no problem right? Went to Wal-Mart after checking the owners manual which reffered me to part number h4652. Trouble is they don't have it, but they had a bulb they said would work so I put that on there. It was a h4656 or something like that. This didnt work though when I flipped the highs on it went out. So I went to an auto parts store and they told me there was no such thing as a dual beam headlight for a 91 camaro. And they didnt have the mysterious h4652 in there system. So what do any of you guys do when a that outer bulb needs replaced?

Would much appreciate a link or place where i can get one. Thanks

Re: Headlight Bulbs?

IIRC, the outers are the high beams & single filaments. The Low beams are the dual filaments.

You sure your owners manual doesn't say H4651?

The Silverstars (STs) are well worth the extra cost & are a direct plug-in.

The inner high beams are the H4651's for the outers it lists an H4652.

Re: Headlight Bulbs?

Whoever you talked to at the store is nuts, because as we KNOW, there is a dual beam beam bulb. The combo Low beam bulbs.

Those numbers are straight from Sylvania's website.
