the projectors the high and low beams are separate bulbs... you'll only need single beam HIDs when getting the projectors off ebay
ok guys was asking a friend about this stuff, and it seems our RA bulbs being the 9007 are hi/low bulbs i also took into account that im using projectors which make the hi and low separate and as you can see from the quote above, i was advised to get a single beam hid kit, getting pretty confused with all this, there is a 9007 bi-xenon hid kit, and a 9007 hi/low hid kit. which am i needing to get for use with projectors? there isnt a 9007 single beam kit. thanks in advance guys. this stuff reallly makes my head spin when coming to electronics and what not for cars, ill turn wrenches all day but this stuff, not so much.

no. 9007 kit is if you use the stock headlights. bi-xenon kit means you have HIDs on high and low beams.

a hi-low hid kit means that your low beams are HIDs however your highbeams will be basic halogen bulbs so you'll still get that yellow-ish color

i believe that the low beam on the projectors housings are h7 and the high beams are h1 (i'd stick w/ just getting a kit for the low beams cause i doubt you'll have space to mount 4 ballasts) however it could be different depending on who makes the housing. buy the housing or ask the seller first so you can purchase your kit roughly at the same time so you can install both housing and HIDs all at once. that way you only have to take off your bumper one time

i asked the website, said the bi-xenon uses the same ballast, so it would just be two total like a normal kit, but if the projectors are h7's then its only a single beam kit. which i think would be fine since its hella bright anyways.
thanks man.

4 ballasts was assuming you were going to get the projectors which have separate bulbs. thus being 2 ballasts per side: one for low and one for high
