It's got a pigtail on it, a lot of H1's have a straight Lucar terminal.

not with a pigtail - an H11 is similar to a 9005/6 and has a moulded in connector block.

the H3 is the light with pigtail..

Facelift Disco 2's have the little round spotlights, very similar to the Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro vans, and they do have the moulded connector on the bulb.

Pre-2002 vehicles have the pigtail on the bulb.

If yu want to save a bit of money - get it in the motorcycle section

It's amazing how many variants have been thrown up while looking for a basic bulb!

We've got some 9005 HB3 bulbs here, they are used on the Astra 2003 with separate bulbs for high and dip beams.

They are VERY similar to the facelift Disco bulbs, but there's a slight difference between the 9005 and the 9005/6.

yup
i cant remember which is which but of the 9005/6 arrangement, one is used as dipped beam and the other as high beam.
you can tell the difference, by looking into the connector housing - there are locating pips moulded in to the housing and they are different between the 9005 and 9006. I think the 9005 has two pips, not sure on the 9006 off the top of my head.

Yeah you were rite a 711, and the pips in the connector block are closer together, thats the difference between the 2006 and 2005. Cheers guys.
