I know lighting topics get beaten to death, and I've attempted some extensive searching to find any insight to my quest, but couldn't find the answer.

For those not in the know, Osram owns Silvania, and produces the Silverstar named bulb under both the Osrama nd Silvania brand. However, they are not the same bulb. The Silvania Silverstar is a US/Canada/Mexico bulb and has blue tinted glass, the Osram Silverstar is a Euro-market bulb and has clear glass. As I'm sure at least a few of you are aware, any coloring of the glass will inadvertantly trap light, reducing effective output in relation to the potential of the bulb. It's also of my understanding that the Sylvania bulb uses a different filiment that's meant to be overdriven in exchange for a short lifespan.

So, can anyone help me figure out the Osram Silverstar equivalent for a 9006 and 9005. I'm looking for my 98 ITR, but the Integra doesn't exist in Osram's online catalog. I know my US 91 Accord uses 9006 and 9005 and that Osram's downloadable pdf states that the Euro 90 to 93 Accord uses a part number 64193 for the standard halogen replacement bulb. Curiously they use the same part number bulb for both the high and low (they say "dipped") beam. Osram adds an "svs" to the end of a part number to indicate a Silverstar bulb. So I searched their site for a 64193svs and found the following picture(right click save as ONLY - don't forget to name it a .jpg). That's obviously not a 9005/9006 style plug. I'm stuck.

I thinking maybe the UK ITR cars might be different in some way. If a UK ITR owner could speak up on what bulb type they have that would help satisfy my curiosity in that regard. Also, I'm thinking that maybe some of the HID kits that are available might have an answer regarding how to fit the Euro plug type to the US plug type, and how to fit a Euro bulb into a US light housing.

Figures I'd learn of the Osram Silverstar after I just bought $80 worth of Sylvania Silverstars. Oh well, I guess I can return them, if I find some Osrams that'll fit.
