Default What type fog light bulbs go on the 03' STR?

Can someone please tell me what size fog lights does the STR take? I thought they were H3's but once I bought them I found that there was a wire at the end of it, and it doesn't fit the stock Unit on the 03' STr. So if someone can clarify what type of fog light bulbs to get, I would really appreciate it,

Thanks.

The fog light bulbs are gotten OTC (over the counter) at any auto parts store...just picked one up Tuesday ($6). Before embarking on a new bulb check the connector to bulb. I thought I needed a new bulb but tapped the outside of fog light housing and bulb came alive. I still have to check out the connector but the bulb could still be burnt out.

Ya I thought they were H3 (they're not) so now I have a set of HIDs for my fogs that aren't going to work.

I just replaced my 03STR foglight bulbs; purchased H3's only to find out they were H1's.
