    correct bulb for euro ellipsoids?!

    i bought the conversion kit, but didn't
    realize that no bulbs were included...

    i don't want to get into modifying bulbs
    and stuff...i just want to plug and play...

    what size fits these units without modification?
    and where can i get them? dealer? Auto Zone?

    help!

              It's not going to be plug and play though, especially if you didn't buy the plugs/harnesses.

                                      Did you buy OSRAM or Sylvania H1 Silverstars?

                                      Last I knew, Sylvania does not make H code lighting, and OSRAM Silverstars are legal for use in europe only. Wal-Mart isn't going to stock them...

                                          the front of the plastic box reads SYLVANIA H1 ST
                                          as well as Silverstar® High Performance Lighting...

                                          the fine print on the back reads OSRAM SYLVANIA
                                          Products, Inc. SYLVANIA is a registed trademark of
                                          OSRAM SYLVANIA INC. Silverstar is a trademark of
                                          OSRAM GmbH used under license. Made in Germany.

                                          looks like OSRAM and SYLVANIA bulbs are
                                          made by the same people--just the packaging is
                                          different...

                                              it's not just the packaging, the sylvannia silverstars have a worthless blue coating on them, the OSRAM silverstars do not.

                                                  Yeah, are the bulbs completely clear, or blue tinted?

                                                          they're not blue--wouldn't have bought 'em if
                                                          they were...the best way to describe them
                                                          would be that they look like they've been dipped
                                                          in chrome...are these the real deal?
