RS Version Projectors (What bulb for low beams)

Im headin down to my gf's on Halloween to pick them up, they wouldnt ship to me from CA only with a money order. Anyways, I had heard that some projectors wont accept the H4 (9003) bulb that is OEM, and take an H1? Is that true, cause I am ordering new Naxos bulbs for them and I want to make sure I get the right size at $50 a pair.

I thought H1s had one prong while the H4s were 3. Maybe I am missing something but what is the difference if any?

All aftermarket headlights come with a plug that fits perfectly with the stock harness (what you plug into the back of the OEM h4 lightbulb). They also use the stock turnsignals and stock running-lights.

there are 2 separate bulbs for Hi and Low beams, and their wires combine and at the end is the harness that you plug into the OEM harness.

Yeah Im gonna go pickup a set of Naxos Xenon Blues. I had them on my Saturn for almost 2 years and loved them. They have a ice color at first with a tint of blue, not deep, then get to a nice frost white almost like the glow that Audi HIDs put out once they reach temp. 55W bulbs so they dont draw as much as a PIAA. I had PIAAs and they are killer bulbs, but for $85 and they have 85W which is a lil high for OEM plugs.
