writing the post it seems clear, I think I need H7 and H1 but what is halogen projector blue version?

That's 'Blue Vision', which is MGR speak for the blue tinted glass H7 bulb they recommended for Halogen type projector lamps.

Am I right, H1 and 7?
Mk1 non-projector models use H7 55watt bulbs in the dips and H1 55watt in the mains.
Mk2 non-HID models use H7 55watt bulbs in the dips and H9 65watt in the mains.
Mk1 with non-HID projectors use H9 65watt bubs in the mains.
Mk1 and Mk2 models with HID projectors use H9 65watt bulbs in the mains.


So whenever there's projectors, there's H9 65watt in the main beam.
