headlight bulb

So my driverside low beam went out last friday night and i got pulled over twice for it. needless to say i need to get it fixed. i ordered new HID bulbs off ddmtuning.com (9007) which seemed right on the sylvania thing they have. i got the bulbs in and in no way shape or form do they look like they fit. did i get the wrong models or do i need to buy the expensive 180 dollar replacements?

Those are the bulbs for the NON-HID lights. You need the more expensive ones. You can get them off Ebay or any local auto parts store.

You'll need D2S 35w 4300k HID bulbs for direct replacements, and you don't have to pay stealership prices for them either.

Looks like you drive an 03 EVO like me. All the 2003's come with stock HID, bulb size is D2S. Look on ebay or anywhere else that sells HID bulbs and purchase bulb size D2S.
