It's probably a Xenon effect bulb. I got H4 bulbs of that type in my
Vanagon, it
doesn't give the desired effect.

The Xenon bulbs are not like conventional bulbs. These bulbs consist of
an
electric arc, just like from a welder, that makes the like. To get this
arc, you
need a special electrical module to produce 14000 volts. Look at
http://lightning.mbz.org for info.
