   Does is not say the Voltage at the back of the bulb?
   
   Its a h4 though buddy. Do you have a high/low beam relay? If so you will need a H4 hi/low hid bulb and what ever the voltage rating is, ie, 6000k, 8000k.
   
   Pretty easy to get hold of tbh mate.

   if you have really bright dipped beam and when you put the car on full beam its just as bright but a bit higher then its called a hi/lo HID kit like mine, you will need to buy a pair normally to replace a bulb which is what im having to do... I have 6000K on my car at the moment so im buying a spare pair of 6000l's so I have a spare bulb etc... etc...
   
   Pair of bulbs is normally about £50 from someone like xenonshop.co.uk and needs to be mentioned that they need to be hi/lo ones if thats what you have as iirc they have an extra 2 pin connector that sends power to the bulbs to click up high!
   
   Hope that helps!
   
   also on xenonshop.co.uk theres a color temperature chart so you'll be able to see what color you have and what color you need
