The bulbs you're looking at in the pics and video were included with the headlight. I've since upgraded all of them since the turn signals were halogen and the headlights I felt could be brighter. Have to keep in mind the company manufacturing the headlight doesn't include any bulbs, so any bulbs you're getting are chosen and included by the seller. Obviously they're going to look for budget options.
The headlight projector housing takes a D2H bulb, typical for HID bulbs but a rare size for LED. I went with these, one of the few options but they're great and twice as bright as the bulbs the headlight came packaged with:

The base actually ended up being a little thinner than the D2H, but I was able to slip a rubber washer around it to beef it up. Fits nice and snug in the housing. Another option is to find a true D2H bulb, or even go with HID, which have a ton of options in this size.
Turn signal bulbs are PY21W, same as OEM. I went with these:

Also upgraded all the rest of the exterior lighting to LED:
H8 Fogs:

H11 High Beams:

1156 Brake lights and turn signals:

1156 Reverse light:

None of this stuff is necessary, obviously, but quality LEDs will last a lifetime, and I wanted to have bright, high quality bulbs all around.
