Ok, so I lied about my lights. They are MR16s after all. I read somewhere online that the 16 stands for eighths of an inch of the diameter of the lamp at it's biggest circumference. Sixteen eighths = two inches and I knew my lamp wasn't that big. It's more like an inch and 3/8s = 11/8 = MR11 according to that definition. But then I was back in Home Despot today and was able to take a look at the lights again (with packaging indicating the size), and low and behold, they are MR16s. So I guess that definition I found was erroneous.

ANYWAY, now that I know I have MR16s, I'm going to go ahead and order the Optronics Competition Driving Lights (thanks RainmanP).
