Can't remember what the parking lights are (one click on with the light switch), but they're tiny cr@ppy looking bulbs.
The (dipped) headlight bulb (two clicks on with the light switch) is H7.
Dunno what the main beam (headlights on, main beam switch on) is.

Not too clear from your question as to which bulb you're after.

..easier if you take the headlights out
Which, in itself, is quite an easy job I found (and I'm by no means a mechanic!)

if you meant which ones goes where..you'll be able to tell when you get the bulbs and change them as they have different fitting and sizes.

My headlight bulbs were in the car when I bought her and two years lAter they are still going strong, although I may change then for something stronger.... One cause of bulb early death is touching the glass of the bulb. Your finger leaves an oily residue on the glass which heats up and eventually causes the bulb to die.....
