It's a D2S bulb. Beware of cheap knock-offs on ebay as you could run into quality issues.

You might want to buy a pair so they match in color and brightness. Like MetMan said, there are tons on knock-offs out there, if the price is low they're probably knock-off junk from china.

Fake vs real

When in doubt just look directly on the headlight lens. The type of bulb is normally cast in the clear plastic in small print
