Standard H4s fit the Euros on my 87 300D. I like the +30 silverstar or Hella bulbs. The fog lites are H3's. You should be able to use the same bulbs as in the OE headlamps.
Did you adapt the us plugs to the Euros power connector?

you want 55/60 watt bulbs too, not 90/100

I think the euro headlight plugs are the same as the regular tail light plugs, if you have a PNP close by you could cut out a set of pigtail harnesses cheap.
