According to http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm your car takes the HID-D2S. But with floating production dates bulb fitments sometimes change ... So, to be sure I always recommend removing the original and verify the bulb number.
As for buying from ebay - best if you know the seller's ratings and feedback but shop carefully. Or try one of our forum vendors or other reputable on-line stores. If you go that last route shop the deals and earn additional rebates by shopping though the link in my signature.

look at the rim around the projector. the correct bulb type is stamped on there (d2s or d1s). other than buying the correct bulb, i don't forsee a problem; unless you break the motor that reaims the beam, you shouldn't have any problems with the high/low beam.

hopefully this is a good thread to ask this question: I just installed some xenon angel eye bulbs, but can't find a good spot to put the ballast. Anyone try this and have a good solution? the seller told me to drop it in the space behind the angel eye, but i would imagine it would bang around in there unless there is a way to secure it.
