Can you not just take one out and check?

Google pics of the two, it will help, but the old one is liable to have the type stamped on the flange.

If it's H4, I'd SERIOUSLY reconsider fitting HID's, the ones for H4 are cr@p.

A b@stard contraption where you get decent dip, cr@p main beam, the reverse, or, more likely, both cr@p. You get more light but the scatter is awful.

H4 if standard WRX headlights

As above, H4 HIDs are terrible. I'd recommend just changing to a decent bulb. I find Osram Nightbreakers good. A lot cheaper and a lot less hassle than fitting HIDs!!

If you really want HIDs I'd save up and get a set of JDM STi lights which are proper HID lights, look much better too

Parma?
Do you mean PIAA? LOL if so.

They are mahoosively overpriced and only as good as their nearest rivals.

Try Osram Nightbreaker,
Halfords Ultra Brilliance (when on BOGOF).
Ring 120% uprated.
Philips extreme vision.

All are cheaper than PIAA but work as well.
