    Yes, you just buy the same size bulb as the halogen that's in there now.
    Though, I'd say just get HIDs.

    Its only there as a disclaimer to protect the vendor if some one tries to blame HIDs for doing something the the headlight. I was part of the original group buy and have run HIDs since day 1. I have never had any issues. I use a 35W kit and its good enough. The digital one's have a smaller ballast which is nice, since you can place them just about anywhere. You can't go wrong with either style.
