Bulb type will be 9004 (non sport) in the main headlights not sure what the fogs will be. If you want true HIDs you have to buy a whole kit which comes with ballast, igniters, and bulbs. I purchased my kit on eBay for 200 or so. They have been going strong for 4+ years now. Be careful of which kit you choose, because most are junk.

I run 4300k bulbs in mine and love them, they are a bright white with little blue or yellow in them. ** IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PUT PROJECTORS IN**

Hmm been thinking of redoing my headlights too, how hard was it to put in your HID's HRD?

Chart seems about right. Yes you can run HIDs in projector lights. 4300k is what most auto manufactures run in their HID setups. 5000K is supposed to be the temperature and intensity of daylight.

Very simple my friend, my kit it what you call a Bi-Xenon kit which means it has a magnate in the bulb housing to raise and lower the bulb giving a hi/low beam effect. Installation is just plug them in and do some simple ground and power connections for the Bi-Xenon's or just a simple plug and play for the regular Xenon's.
