hey, has anyone tried to install the Farenheit [sic] 9007NW headlight bulbs? i tried dropping them in a 2001 SE but the keying seems to be off. there's 3 slots cut in the bulb sleeve to fit 3 notches in the headlight housing, but one of the bottom ones doesn't match. wtf?

the '01 SE takes type 9007 bulbs, and crutchfield's vehicle matcher says they should fit.

i thought the suffix NW on the farenheit's part number was just a p/n detail. does it say something about the keying?

cheers,

Hmm I had a similar problem like this awhile back when replacing mine. When I went into the auto parts store I thought for sure that my 01 took 9007's and confirmed it with the dill hole behind the counter and his fancy database. I got home and started to install....I was wrong and so was his computer. 00 and 01's take a 9004

The 9007's are for the new style headlamps....hope this helps

My 2001 takes 9004 bulbs. (I have PIAA Super Whites)

yea, sorry but 02 is when 9007 started. Prior to that it was 9004.
