the CL uses H4's as it has one bulb that does dipped and full beam.

GL and GTI use H7 as they have 2 seperate bulbs for each beam.

Same as vento's use H4's.

OK.  :sad: That means that my CL and the Chrysler is H4 and the GL is H7. Annoyance, was hoping a set of HIDs would fit all. Off-road use only. Well, except on the Chrysler, aut leveling and optional projectors make it HID legal.

Looking in my Haynes manual it looks like there is just one bulb behind the three heater dials that illumates them all. Is this right? as the fan speed one on mine isn't illumated at all, the temp dial is patchy and the direction one is ok.

Before I take it to bits, I've looked everywhere for what bulb is behind there. Looking at the list above is it the:

interior,boot,glovebox 233, or
dash 286t

Cheers.
