I'm trying to figure out what bulbs I would need to replace my stock
ones. What about the hi-beams? I checked the manual and I don't see
where it indicates a specific size.

If I didn't know better I would swear you are asking how to replace
your turnsignal bulbs with hi-beam headlight bulbs. I expect your
flasher would have a bit of a problem with that.

Are you planning on signaling your turns on the moon?

No, stupid...
I was asking which part numbers I would need to replace my stock turn
signal bulbs with Sylvania's line of turn signal bulbs. While I'm at
it I was looking into replacing the hi-beams with Sylvania's line of as
well. Does that make sense? I fouond what I need by the way.

Front turn signal: 1157AST
High beam headlamp: 9005ST

It makes perfect sense NOW. As originally posted, not so much.

Yes,"SilverStar" is a trademark of Sylvania's HEADLIGHT bulbs,AFAIK.
No point in having "whiter" turn or stop signal lights;they're either red
or amber.

And you can use a local store's reference book to find what type
number(1157,9005,etc.) for the application your car uses.

1157 is pretty standard for older cars turnsignal/Brakelight bulb,IIRC.
(dual filament)
Newer autos may use some different bulb style with a different base.
