This should help, this is for VX and VY

Low Beams: H4
High Beams: H1
Fog Lights: H3
Parker Globes: T10

VT is the same, not sure about the fog light globes though if they are H3 as well.
The H4 globe as stated above has 2 filaments so that when the high beams are turned on, the headlights are brighter too.

+1 to that. Hope this solves a lot of confusion.

That's what i have done :D
I put in some nice White Xenon H4's, new LED Parkers.. I still haven't bought my H1'S yet so soon as i go highbeam i get yellow and white!
Also installed a nice Audi looking LED strip under my headlights :) The cheap way to do Daytime driving lights!
