Question about Projectors. Tried search function, need a concrete answer.

I've tried searching for some answers using the search function, and I have a couple varying answers.. I need a concrete answer before I order em up.
I'm getting the projectors, and Im gonna convert em to HIDs.W hat size bulbs are they for the beams? H1? I've seen people answer H7 and H11's as well (pretty sure 11's are the stock halogen fogs).. I just want to make sure.
Also, is it just one pair of ballasts/bulbs I'll need, I cant make out in the various pictures if each headlight has 2 bulbs, or just one set of 2 will do both lights.
Thanks for the help guys.

So it looks as if the first half of my post got answered by someone else's thread last night lol.. H1's for the headlights, H11's for the fogs.
From what I can now tell the highs and lows in the projectors are two seperate bulbs in 2 different parts of the housing. Should I bother getting HIDs in the high's? I'll probably never use em. Maybe I'll just put some H1 silverstars in there or something.

Using a HID bulb for your high beams will destroy the bulb very quickly. HID bulbs are meant to be run for atleast 15 minutes at a time for their maximum life span, but at minimum they require atleast 15 seconds for cool off time before they are relit. So that pretty well means you cant flash your high beams at people.

I highly recommend getting the Silverstars for the Projection headlights. They make a huge difference over the stock bulbs that are there. Anything is better than the stock bulbs!!

Done and done, thanks guys I really wasn't looking forward to buying two sets of HID kits anyways lol. Too bad my 9007 SS's won't fit the new highs heh..
I think for the fogs I'll just get some Luminics or some SS's, I don't feel the need to put HIDs in em.

Not that I am saying they'll go immediately, but you'll probably only get two or three years out of them I imagine.
