Default sylvania silverstar bulb installation

I know this sounds weak, but...

I bought some silverstar 9007 ST's to try and increase the light output on the 98.5 A4. When I took out the old bulb, there is a totally different plug! The car has 2-prongs and the silverstars have 3-prongs. I thought this was a plug and play...

Any input? Did I get the wrong bulbs?

you bought the wrong bulbs. I believe you need H7's.
