Default Bulbs

I have searched, and cannot definitively decide whether i have H4 or H7.

The bike is a 2000 SV650S.

I am guessing there are 2 H4s in the twin headlights?

H7s are dual filament? therefor i have 2 bulbs in each headlight?

ARGH! The confusion. It hurts.

I think you will find it impossible to find H4 bulbs.

However, a large selection of H4 lamps are available.

A bulb grows in the ground.
A lamp is used to generate light from electricity.

If you're going to use Wikipedia to support your argument, then take a look at this page:

Incandescent light bulb

I'd go with Osram Night breakers for the Curvy SVS.
