Default Which HID bulb should i use for my car?

one of my low beam HID bulbs blew out this weekend. need to get a replacement one. I was looking at the autozone website and they're just offering me a bunch of halogen bulbs.

are these the correct specs i should be looking for?
D1S bulb - H7 - 4300K color

Thanks

Yep.
But they are not H7, they are simply D1S.
You want Osram Zenarc, for example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OSRAM-D1...ery!5095!AU!-1

Stock are 4300 and the ones I linked to above don't say what they are, but I have found other listings for them which say "up to 4350", so they would be a good match for the stock globes. If you want to replace just the one globe then that would be the way to go.
However if you want to go to 6,000k for a more blue/white colour them get a pair of the "Cool Blue Intense" (CBI) ones, eg: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OSRAM-Xe...AAAOSwevdaKShP

And if you want a cheap single replacement globe you might consider this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/FACTORY-OEM....c100752.m1982
