the differences are the bulb shape/connections/prongs/housing usage etc. etc.

what exactly are you trying to understand about the bulbs??

well, anything actually. i dont know much about lighting at all. ive always been into mechanical and sound equipment. i appreciate any info that you guys may have. so if i were to get hid's would i still need h4's? sorry, i really dont know anything about it. treat my like im an idiot, that would probably be the easiest way. once again, thanks for anything at all.

well i have dual halo projectors right now. what is the output difference between the bulbs and the kit? also, what does it mean when you say "retrofit" the hids? ive seen some kits, like the xtec kits, is that different from the one you showed on ebay? ive also read something about the color is affected by the temperature, like 4000k and 6000k and so on. is there an output difference between them or is it just a color difference?
