if the projector uses d2s then you need to get a d2s hid kit.

Yes you should, your most likely going to have to switch the ground and high beam wire before you install the 9007 relay harness. its most likely going to pined for a 9004 setup (most relay harnesses are) I know mine was. if you dont switch them you wont have high beams.

no, you still need to get the 9007 bixenon harness, to retain stock functionality. When you get the 9007 relay harness you will most likely have to switch the ground/highbeam wire then because 9007 and 9004 bulbs have the same base, but a different pinout. The 9007 relays are normally made for 9004 bulb hence why you have to switch the two wires for the 9004/9007 relay harness to work with a 9007 pinout. make sense?

Question. Why do my highbeam shutters come on on my low and go off on my high beam. Like my dash shows high beam indicator when low beam shutters are on, and low beam indicator when my high beam shutter is on.

I cannot have my fogs on with my low beam shutter now because car thinks the high beams are on

you need to switch the low and high beam wires on the harness. The harness comes pre wired for 9004, not 9007.

the blue and orange wires on the car's side of the plug are the low and high beam, swap the ones opposite of that on the relay harness.
