Pretty sure the right answer is that same as it is for other platforms that came with Halogen Bulbs. Replace the Halogen Bulb with a Halogen bulb, or replace the whole assembly with one designed for an HID or LED bulb. Otherwise the beam pattern is going to be crap, and you are likely to be scattering a lot of light (glare) into oncoming driver's eyes..

Stick with OSRAM or other well known, European manufactured, bulbs for the best quality..

Appears the replacement is an H11. Here are some threads from Candlepower discussing H11 replacement options..
