Default Headlight/Hood questions(solved)

Hi, just bought a 91 CRX Si with a ZC swap because some idiot wrecked my beautiful Sol... Loving the car so far, but I have couple questions since some things are a bit off.

UPDATE Thanks for the help. I got the lights installed. four 194 bulbs. and the hood needed about 1-2mm of spacing behind the latch. Next up, speakers and stereo ha

First is I can't find an answer to what bulbs these headlights take.
The headlights work, but I need them for future reference. I only ask because I don't know if the original owner, changed the lights when he swapped. (I didn't buy it from the one who did it.)
Also, what corner bulbs do I need. One of them flashes, but doesn't turn on when running.




Okay, next thing is the hood latch catches, but it doesn't lock down.
drove it home bounce a ton. Scares me a bit.
Since it is a ZC swap and as I learned from a brief search is that they have a special hood for the ZC's. So I read that I could put washers on the latch to make it catch?



Extremely sorry about the vertical pictures, but I am not going back out in this heat to grab horizontal ones.

Thank you. figured it was safer to ask than realize I have some random obscure bulb from another market.

Any ideas for the hood? Would just putting washers on work?

If I recall correctly, the ZC CRX had a hood that was convex, instead on concave like the USDM CRX has. meaning us ones have the indent in the middle , where the ZC protruded outwards from the hood. Hope that makes sence. I would add one washer to each bolt on the latch until you get it to latch. Not sure if you will need washers in the back on the hinges or not. Go buy a handful of washers and spend some time with it. Good luck

Yup, the ZC hood had a special indent/outdent (view point) for the engine. Thank you for confirming the idea! I'll see about getting a proper run down of the car when I get to clean it!
I'll be back with results of how it goes.
