For an executice or an acclaim the lights are H4 55/60 for main driving lights T10 for parker lights and i think H1 for high beams, to be sure check the owners manual in the glovebox

i noticed the other day on my acclaim that the bulb models and ratings are actually stamped on the top of the light its self. Pop the bonnet and it should be there.

What do you mean "goes up a little bit"

Why did you have the radiator changed in the first place?

VZ
Got the mode button loose on my VZ steering wheel. How do I get to it, what causes it to come loose? Is it available separately as a spare part new or is it one part that does all three buttons as a cluster on the LHS of the steering wheel?
Is it a common fault?
The button works fine still, and didn't come loose until after I started driving it. Is it just something that can be 'snapped' back into place after I remove the horn/airbag cover, or is it broken plastic hinge or spring?

2004 VZ Berlina
I had the Volume Up button come off on my 04 Berlina.
Just jammed it back in the hole it popped out of and it's been fine since.
It does move around, which I am seeking warranty replacement for (was bought from a dealer not long ago).

By the sounds of it (no pun intended), it appears to be a fairly common fault.
