you could of seached this as this question has been asked so many time before.
Headlight bulbs will be H7 on yours and you will have 4, 2 in each headlight. Best brand to go for is Philips Xtreme and if you are upgrading them you will need to replace them in pairs.
Sidelights will be 501 and most people use LED SMD bulbs but dont buy too cheap as they will not last.

Philips dont make nightbreakers.
Philips X-treme +100% are the bulbs you want.

If you buy the Philips or the Osram, put them in your dipped beam and move your dipped beam bulbs into your main beam. Might as well have the best light output for the lights you use most often.
As you seem inexperienced in your knowledge of headlight bulbs, one bit of advice. Don't touch the glass with your fingers. The oil in your hands can make the bulbs fail prematurely.
