UK/USA bulbs

I'm trying to order replacement hi/low bulbs from powerbulbs.com and they are telling me that UK MINIS have H4 bulbs for the non zenon type.?????
Has anyone else heard this? I pulled mine out and they are H13.

that's interesting....that would be a whole different configuration as an H4 is one solitary bulb that has a high and a low filament.

also didn't know they changed out the bulbs on the '07....my '04 used H7's in the high and low ( non-xenon, obviously)

I found headlight websites not up-to-date with the R56. As mentioned in the manual, my USA mini uses a H13 one-bulb set-up. I found the OEM bulbs a little too dark so I got Philips VisionPlus H13 bulbs as recommended by a correspondence with Daniel Stern Lighting. Love them. Nice, brighter white. My most worthwhile $40 mod!
