H1 bulb. I would replace the bulb first and see if it works. My old housing was full of water for month's and the bulb still worked and only died at the very end before I replaced the housing. Check with a new bulb first.

The bulb should be plugged into a special connection plug. Separate the two and go from there.

Hope that helps. :-)
