s13 twin projector headlamp bulbs

[SilFortyTypeX]

I recently finished installing an s13 front end conversion on my car a couple days ago, the low-beam bulb came burnt out on the right side. I have the twin projector style front end, and I took out the bad bulb and I have been trying to find somewhere that has this bulb, or has something that can be used in place of this special type halogen bulb. The only success that I have found so far is somewhere said that they can order this bulb from japan for $100 a pair. So I was wondering what type of bulb, such as an H1 Halogen or other Halogen, could be used in place of this bulb if I manual wired it or did a conversion myself?

I thought they were H4 bulbs? Maybe Philips DS2 Xenon? Dunno but I definately want to cuz I'm going for the triple projector front end...

Sorry buddy, they arent H1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... etc... And I have yet to find one website that sells these bulbs, so ANYBODY who knows what type of bulbs are low beam oem for s13 projectors, please let me know. All I can tell from the bulb itself is... "PIAA 12V55W DG"

H4 for Low and high, H3 for fog. Check out PIAA Japan's website.

The exact fit would be an H3C for the low beam. They are hard to find in the US though. Options auto (http://www.optauto.com) has them for $44 a pair. What I did was go to my local Wal-mart and picked up an H7 bulb. Then I used a grinder to completely grind off the metal base on it. It works like a charm. Oh yeah, I have the dual projectors.
