Not sure of the bulb size.
And this is sort of an insider manufacturer secret: MOST bulbs in OEM and aftermarket kits are made by Phillips.

If your car already has HIDs, and you just want to change the bulbs, the bulbs are D1S, and for now they only go up to 6000K. I wanted 8000K so I took the D1S socket off and purchased a D2S bulb holder and new D2S ballast (this is very costly.)
If your car does not have HIDs, and you just want to put the bulbs in search eBay for "H7 8000K hid" you'll find what you need. If your trying to change your headlights to the HID Bi-Xenons, do some research.
