replacing all lights in the front of my car, what are the names of the bulbs i need?

i decided to put all new lights in the front of my car, but i don't know the sizes! i know our main headlights are 9004, but thats all i know. could any one list all sizes and quantitys needed to do this?

i was also thinking about getting these bulbs:

KOITO BULB: 60/50W WHITEBEAM (PR) does anyone have these and like them? and i was also looking at the piaa extreme whites as well. i want the bulb that looks as close as hid as posiable with the stock wiring. any sugestions? thanks everyone.

I WISH I COULD SEARCH!

Blinker bulbs are 1156 (single socket)
Parking light bulbs are 194
Fog Light bulbs are H3

single socket means that the bulb socket only has 1 positive lead.. meaning the bulb one filament in it.

dual socket means that the bulb socket has 2 positive leads.. the bulb has two filaments in them.

If you hold the bulb up to the light, you will be able to tell which one has single filament and which one has dual filament

so is this important for me to look for to buy bulbs? or should they all just work with the car? also, thank you for your help and very quick responces.

if you are replacing all bulbs.. just go by the first post i did..

(2) 1157's for clearance lights next to headlights
(2) 1156's for bumper blinkers
(2) 194's for the parking lights next to the blinkers
(2) H3's for the fog lights
