sorry did the conversion on a european 850 which uses different bulbs, but certainly could get just about any bulb format in the osram or philips range...

blue HID 'like' bulbs = SUCKS BIG TIME, they use a blue filter that actually CUTS the amount of light on the road...

i found an independant test done by an automotive magazine that used a LAB to measure actual lumens on the curb at 75 meters to rate the bulbs..basically OSRAM came out top (50% or so more than the standard OEM bulbs they used) philips a tad lower and a lot of other bulbs from shopd own ranges no improvement DESPITE being zenon etc etc...thats why i bought osram...

again the tested the blue bulbs and concluded they blew big bubles!
