Aren't they a sealed beam? You could replace the whole unit with one that will take an H4 and then fit one of these...

| Post subject: | 94 Sierra headlight bulb |
I've just blown a headlight bulb in my sierra and wanted to know if its safe to replace both bulbs with some H4 60/55W bulbs. The manual says the stock ones are 45/40W but I can't find them in any shops. |

you can fit 55/60w but they arent the normal p43t base, they are p45t from memory http://www.google.com.au/search?q=p45t+ ... 66&bih=639 would pay to pull one out and take it in with you to compare |

Any automotive store you can just buy them off the shelf like supercheap(online also), They sell them in servo's too because its a common generic part. If you didnt know, Dont touch the glass on the new ones. The oil from your skin will break down the glass and your new globe will prematurely blow. |
