No they will not all use the same bulb....so if you bought the hid's already you need to find a projector style housing that uses the 9006 bulbs. The ones i have use the H3 bulbs and there are plenty other ones that use different kinds as well

ok, #5 looks as close to stock, so ill prolly try that one, want to do it right, so i should really get projectors of some sort... i will prolly end up putting and oem projector in place of the aftermarket one in that housing anyway

what do you mean by this? putting an oem projector in place of the aftermarket one?

Here is a photo of my hid's shining against my garage. I took the pic with my camera phone so it's not the best and i'm on an angle, but you can see they do have the cut off on the top you were looking for.

thanks alot, yeah thats what im looking for...

what i said before... you can pick up an s2000 or tsx or similiar set of projectors pretty cheap and retro fit them into where the low beam is on the aftermarket projectors...

but ill see how the aftermarket ones do first, your arent bad at all, but mine might be crappy, we'll see

thanks again

Not really...look around on ebay and email the seller and ask what type of bulb they take. I've seen 2nd gen headlights that take the 9006 bulb. just do your homework first and you might come up lucky.

The first picture xb58 posted in this thread is one of the headlights. Basically you get a bulb, and a ballast. Figure out what bulb size (im guessing its 9006) and find the kit from that dude for that style. Get the kit and your done.
