Default OMG...yet another HID question.

Ok, call me stupid or whatever (and yes, I have searched) but I need help. I want to get new/replacement HID headlights for my B5 (preferably vvme.com), but am running into a small problem. I have seen on here that the replacement bulbs are the H7 ones, but when I go http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm
here, it says that they are the D2S bulbs. Now, not knowing very much about the HID bulbs, they may very well be the same thing. I really want to order these very soon, and need to know what I need. In case you guys didnt catch it, I already have stock HID's.

Yeah, I forgot to mention, I think my passenger one is getting ready to die. It's turning a yellow-ish color. I was thinking about just getting the 4300k ones anyway.

H7 bulbs are the correct ones you need from vvme, just buy both of them because you want the color to be even, and use your stock ballasts as they are a much better product.

You can also pop the hood and it says the size on top of the headlight.

I would note that the vvme box says 'made in Japan' on it.....
