HID Question

I'm fairly new and this may be a newb question, but I'm wondering if I was to order an HID kit, do I HAVE to get projectors or can I just install them w/ the OEM headlights? Also, what size/type is the one for my car (i.e. 9003, H4, H1, etc.) Thanx!

first off, you don't HAVE to get projectors. it is, however, highly recommended that you try retrofitting projectors into an aftermarket (or even OEM) headlight housings. this way you get two things:
1. a cutoff so you don't go blinding oncomming traffic/people in front of you
2. useable light

if you don't know what type of bulb to use, then you should try looking in your manual. it should tell you what bulb(s) you need for your headlight.
