    Ok, I went to The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications and it looks like the kit they sell for my low beams is 9006: Morimoto Elite HID System - HID Component Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc. I'm assuming this kit uses my existing housings/lenses?


    Please correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I am getting out of my research:


    1) A PROJECTOR IS THE "FISH EYE" LOOKING HOUSING WHICH HOUSES THE HID BULB


    2) A RETROFIT IS WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO CUT OPEN THE STOCK LENSES TO MODIFY/ADD THE PROJECTOR


    3) A COMPONENT KIT IS WHERE I WOULD NOT HAVE TO MODIFY THE LENSES AND ONLY NEED TO INSTALL THE BULBS AND RUN POWER TO THE BALLAST.



    I ALSO CAME ACROSS THIS SYLVANIA PAGE WHICH SHOWS YOU WHICH BULB IS RIGHT FOR YOUR CAR:

    Here's what it said to use for my car:
