h1 bulb in projector not 9007

so i bought my hid kit of vvme.com for my new projectors and got 9007. after realizing they dont fit at all i did some research and found that i need to return it and get the h1 size. this also means i can only get the low beam kit correct? and also since i have the gen 1 projectors that means i need to buy 4 whole kits for both headlights right?

??????? You got stock ReFLECTORS or aftermarket PROJECTORS. Cuz 9007 don't fit projectors. U confuse I think

Stock headlights use 9007 bulbs. Projectors use different ones not sure which. Stock foglights use H1 bulbs I believe.

First and third gen projectors use H1 bulbs, second gens use H7. Plus you only really need one kit, which will convert the lowbeams. Putting HIDs in the high beams is useless...

Except for the fact that when the lights are on the high beam bulb emits a slight glow that is a non hid color. I have noticed that on my 1st gens.
