I'm assuming your buying aftermarket HID's... so even if they were different bulbs, they are getting cheap you could just buy another set of bulbs. Really you just need to go research what type of bulb fits in the headlamps your going for, and know what you have now.

Only concern would be, if these are projector headlamps, and they are euro spec then they could be setup for right hand drive, which means you will be blinding oncoming drivers because the light steps up on the left side, as opposed to US spec which light steps up on the right side.

The glass lamps are German, so they're LHD.

The high beam is a different bulb for the European lights. Lowbeam is the same. You could have searched and found all this without creating yet another thread of rehashed information.
