One bulb. You have cowl lights for "parking", which is what the other bulb would be.

If I am not mistaken the one bulb headlights are for commercial vehicles. I could be mistaken. Rod

If you have cowl lights, purchase the one bulb type. If you don't have cowl lights or are using your cowl lights for turn signals, purchase the two bulb type.

My cowl lights have 2-filament bulbs and are used for parking and turn, therefore headlights are 1-bulb, 2-filament (high/low)
