It is H4R type. Standard honda bulbs can be bought..

I have also bent the tabs on H4 before and made it work..

how about the wattage being higher, trying a standard 'bodged' h4 gets frighteningly hot in prolonged use, could it not overheat the relay/switch aswell as blowing the bulb and possibly melting things you dont want melted?
