I think you need the D2R (assuming you're looking for your HID bulb)

haha ive told many people this. go to ebay and type in HID bulb. look for any that say 4300k. that is the factory temperature. shouldnt cost any more than $25 and it will come with 2. if you wanna change the color or temperature you can find some for like $12 or $15 and with those you have to specify what bulb type you want and temperature. Your factory bulb number is D2R or D2S. they are the same. As long as you either one you will be ok

You should get these!!!

NOKYA 9005 HB3 Arctic White 7000K S1 65W Light Bulbs

I got mine from ebay for like $15.98 with free expedited shipped to my door.
From certain angles your DRL's are blue (when they are not on), so your headlights have a blueish look when your car is parked.
But when you turn the lights on they are super bright white 7000k.
