If they're 7" diameter, then they'll fit.

Auto parts stores. Please don't get those god-awful blue tinted bulbs,
they are distracting. Philips seems to make the majority of bulbs around
here. Do you have the current bulb for the lenses? If possible, take the
unit into the store and make sure the bulbs fit both the lens and the plug
on the car- there's quite a few different styles of bulb / plug out there.
FWIW H4's take a looong time to burn out.

That depends on what bulb you stick in there- 45/55W will be just fine.
55/65W, maybe. 65/105W, no. I think I have 45/55s in my TR4. They are
plenty bright enough, just wish I could aim them properly...
