Socket for longbeam?

What is the bulb socket on long beam light bulbs on C43 with xenon bulbs?
Is it H1 - H3- H4 - H7?????????
What's the watts on long beam bulb?
Don't want to melt my headlight inserts with strong wattage bulbs?

Xenon uses a D2R socket.

Are there any fake zenon wannabee bulbs for long beam which gives similar colortone as xenons?
I want my short/long beam to have similar color tone.

I want long life bulbs, any recomendations what to buy?

I found these on german Fleabay.
Anyone tried something like this with fake xenon bulbs?

Hi Kowalski, it looks like you want some more light, so here goes:
  1. The high beam socket is a H7. Recomend a Osram Night Breaker Plus bulb reference # 64210NBP in 12V 55W PX26d
  2. Low beam socket is a D2R. Recommend a Osram Xenarc Cool Blue Intense bulb reference # 66250CBI in 85V 35W P32d-3
  3. Fog light socket is a H1. Recommend a Osram Night Breaker Plus bulb reference # 64150NBP in 12V 55W P14,5s
  4. Front indicator socket is a PY21W. Recommend a Osram CIADEM (silver coated) orange bulb reference # 7507LDA in 12V 21W BAU15s
You can check all the stuff and the technical details, tests, etc. here: http://www.osram.com/osram_com/tools...uide/index.jsp

hey buddy

I wanna get rid of the nasty yellow tone from high beams, it doesn't look good with zenons when using both together.

fake H7 xenon bulbs for high beam what kind of construction do they have to give the whitey color, do they even bright up white like zenons?
