    did you search this forum? because your questions would have been answered if you did.

    the lights are plug and play. buy them on ebay, parts stores, or even off this forum. just get your bulb size you need.

    it depends on your headlights.

    the projector type has

    9006 low
    9005 high

    and then the reflector type has
    9007 hi/low

    if you have the factory headlights, what trim model do you have?

    or you can just look at the headlight. if there is a reflector in it, its the reflector type. if there is a projector in it, its the projector type.
