If you are still buying them, you should ask the seller.

Please no HID bulbs in non-HID housings.

+1 on not putting a hid bulb in a halogen bulb projector. It will produce a glare that will blind oncoming traffic even with the cut off. If you want true hid lighting, look into retrofitting.

My projectors have H3 low and H1 high halogens btw.
 
Yeah, I'm on hidplanet as well. I am learning a lot from over there. I just haven't retrofitted my headlights yet. I am starting on the tail lights and working my way back up front.
 
Wow I never knew about those they look pretty cool hows the installation it looks difficult do I just remove the original bulbs from the car?

No, it is not a plug and play type of thing to do a true retrofit. You have to take the lights apart in order to do it. The pnp hid kits that are out just end up glaring on the lens and don't focus the light pattern correctly.
