Question tornactive headlight questions

ok, coming from another post...

i want to get a pair of either gunmetal or black of these headlights

Gunmetal

Black

but i have a few questions. first off, are the bulb sizes the same as stock w/ these headlights? H4/194/7443???? secondly, it says on the black headlight page that theyre for 4 door ONLY, yet it has a slot where you can select either 2 or 4 door headlights

can someone explain that? and lastly, which do you guys think woud look better on my black 2 door? gunmetal or black? i was thinking black but i need that other question resolved before ordering.

They do use the same size bulbs. But on the headlamps the 4dr version has the wrnog size hole for your stock ballast. We include ones that fit, but it costs $20 extra because of this. Most shops wont tell you this and just sell them anyway, knowing they will not fit right.

I corrected the "4dr ONLY", it was a typo.

Thanks
Rob

Stock ballast? and are you saying that i can buy the 4dr only ones, and put them on my 2dr? And what do you mean "we include ones that fit"?

A Ballast is the holder of light that conducts the electricity and make sht elight work. They have different sizes of these, and this manufacturer chose to make them different, Why ...I DONT KNOW.

As for which ones look better, they look exactly the same to me.
