Default Headlamp bulb replacment w/PICS

The driver side low-beam bulb on my 04 WRX went out. I'm trying to replace it but dont know if it has the HID lights, the "plug 'n play" or something else. Here are the pictures, what do i have, and what should I buy?

you just undo that metal clip, pull the bulb out, and put in a new one. I forget the wrx bulb but usually the stores have a bulb buying guide. It's probably on here somehow.

Low beams on the 04 are H1 bulbs , if you didnt change it then it has the stock halogen bulbs not HIDs , you can get a replacement in any automotive shop , just ask for H1

I bought the car used, so i dont know what the previous owner did. And I dont know jack about HID lights or what they look like. It's obviously not the same bulb as the high beams, so i thought they put some stupid conversion kit in. And the book says its a D2R bulb, which is an HID.

Check your owner manual, it will tell you what bulb model or number is fit your headlamp at every end of the book. From the pic you took, HB3 is 9005 which is high beam is on the right, and the one of left is H1 which is low beam, it doesnt a HID, check around the headlamp assembly it should have a ballast if you are using HID bulb.
