H6W is correct.
H7 is for low beam (outer housing) lights and a seperate H7 bulb in the inner headlight housing for high beam.
EDIT: Sylvania calls it a 'parking light'. As do we in Australia

You'll have a hard time finding the right bulbs at an auto parts store. The bulb is an H6W, which you might be able to find, but the base is a BAX9S which has the two pins at an angle. Most bulbs you'll find in an auto parts store will have a base with the pins at exactly 180 degrees. You'll need to either get the proper bulb (dealer or search online like on eBay for BAX9S) or if you buy from a local store, take pliers and remove one of the pins.

There are a few alternatives
When the time came that I needed one I got two from the dealer. It was shortly afterwards that this thread started - almost a year ago:

Hope it helps.

Instead of the H6 I used Sylvania 3893 (T4W) bulb which is readily available at Pep Boys. Bulb looks identical and works just fine. Slightly dimmer then the original bulb (4 watt vs 6 watt) but you'll barely notice it. If you replace both you definately wont notice it. The package is labeled License, Parking and Side Marker - European Lamps and its about $3 for two bulbs.

Any idea where to get LED parking lamps to match the Xenons in color? I've seen some on ebay but all are the "warm white" which is kinda yellow.

The LEDs you see on eBay will actually be slightly bluer than the stock Xenon lights, despite what color they may look in the ads. Most will throw a bulb out error code, unless you either wire in a resistor or get one of the "no error" bulbs.
