4th Generation head lamps question.

I have a Gen 4 2.2L Camry '98 and I'm thinking about putting in Silverstar Ultras, however I'm confused as to which ones to get. The sticky for the gen 3/4 says to get 9006/9005(converted) bulbs, however if I search on sylvania's website or advance auto parts, they tell me to get the 9003SU bulbs. They're physically different so I'm not sure what to do. I haven't had time to pop the hood and look at the light casing in my car yet.

Also, are the Gen4s rated for 65W headlamps safely or just 55W lamps?

Thanks!

Also are the bulbs easy to change out? I've never done it before and can't seem to find a guide either. I'm not a very proficient mechanic..

97-99 Has the H4 bulb, one bulb is the low and high. I have Noyka 7000k Artic Whie bulbs and love them, plus they were on a great buy.

PS They are super easy to take out you just need a phillips head screw driver and 15 min of time or less.
