It is a H3 bulb and I replaced mine with the Sylvania Silverstars 880ST.

How did you get a 880 bulb into a H3 opening?

The H3 bulb gives you a lot of options when it comes to wattage, so if you go with like a 55w bulb you will notice a big improvement over the stock 35w. You can also go higher to like a 100w bulb.

The stock bulb H3 is a 90 degree angled bulb but there is room in the housing for the 880 straight bulb. Just installed some in my bike and a friends.
