I looked through realoem.com and it says D1S. I've also been trying to upgrade my bulbs to 6000K but for some reason, some of the D1S bulbs we've tried did not fit.

No, I haven't replaced it yet. Need to find a D1S bulb that will fit. I have a friend that has 6000K D1S bulbs he bought from Hella and it worked and he might switch to 8000K bulbs and sell me his old ones.
