this is correct
try ebay for the bulbs...
heres what i had:
Mtec H1s (2x @ 4350K) - LOW BEAM
stock 3457 (altered for hyperblinker) - SIGNAL
Polarg 194 - PARKING
Piaa H1s (ION-GOLD) - HIGH BEAM
K i have several questions ............1st Where is the cheapest place to purchase the TYC Headlights??? 2nd Do the lights come sealed really well????? and 3rd how can you change the Blub in a projector lens??? no matter what the color of the blub is, the blubs light still has to travel through the projector lens correct????

the side reflectors are different on some units (some are clear and some are amber)
*mine were amber*
the front signals i had were covered with a clear lens
(i just left the stock bulb in...you can change to the hyper-white bulbs)
the parking ones didnt have a lens covering the bulb
(you can change them out with hyper-whites)

1) ebay is fairly cheap, but you can find some on this site from other members that might be selling them even cheaper
2) the housings do come sealed very well (in my experience)
3) easiest way to change them would be before installation
(you can change them afterwards by removing the 'grommet' and releasing the pin, disconnecting the wire lead and then reverse)
4) the light does pass through the lens which creates a purple to blue to white effect (normal on projection lens)...if you change them out to lets say Mtec H1s, they go from purple to blue to an intense white
