Where to buy headlight bulb?

The low beam/running lights are out on my driver side in my 2004 Beetle. What part number do I want and where is a good place to buy it? Thanks!

Yes. Don't fit anything bigger, or you'll get pulled over- or worse yet- the wiring harness will sizzle. The high beams can be changed out with H1's at a higher wattage if you upgrade the wiring in the housing and add relays to activate them.
