Default 2013 LR2 Base headlight bulb question

I am hoping to get an answer here.
My 2013 LR2 is a base model so it only has the DTRL and one projector lens.


I seem to go through projector lens bulbs quickly. I am lucky to get 6 months out of them.
I am concerned I am getting the wrong bulb for it.
I buy (Usually Sylvania) 9005 bulbs.
Every auto parts store I check with when I gave them the year make and model of the vehicle they com up with an H7 for the high beam and an H11 for the low beam.
I only have one bulb so this makes no sense to me. On top of that, niether the H7 nor the H11 will fit the plug for my headlights.
Most also show an optional bulb (DS3), however this bulb would not fit my connector or housing either.

I did call the LR dealer near me, gave them my Vin and was told the part I need is LR044458 however, looking at that part, I believe it will not fit either.

For comparison, here is the 9005 I just replaced.


Should I be using the 9005? They are not a dual element, so is using the high beam simply forcing more power through the bulb causing it to burn brighter and so burning it out quickly?
What bulb should I be using?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
