I think the problem is that people choose looks over output. I personally remember seeing the beam pattern from them and it looked horrible, but just cause i dont like it dont mean other people cant get them. Either way the bulb size is H3, good luck.

the fact that i said your projector headlights were crap....then i backed it up?
or the fact that i said you were a newbie making enemies? i'll back that up too - if you are new you need to get to know people and become a valuable member of the forum before you start being rude. if you start with the flipping people off when you are new...it will **** people off and you wont get anymore help.
so if you want help in the future, here is some advice from your elder (both in age and a member of the forum) - create a new screen name and start over.
you are welcome

thanks for the info fellas....i just wasnt sure which bulb size.....also i already have hid's that i "custom fitted" but i want the blue look....i do admit the beam pattern isnt that great....well got now i'm going to get the 8000k HIDs for my fogs and re-wire them so just the fogs and halos are on....i'm still undecided if i want to replace the headlights (i just wanted to know the bulb size just incase)....and also gentlemen.....everybody has their own opinion...so you guys should try to respect eachothers sh*t...like i said i do agree that the pattern/brightness/visibality isnt that great compared to when i had my OEM headlights....but to me they look sick....not to mention i get complimented all the time......thanks for everyones help.

From the sounds of it you are trying to go for pure looks so then i guess it would work out for you. But if you want the best out of your headlights and hid kit then keep your oem headlights throw an 4100k or up to 6000k hid kit and enjoy lighting up the road.

I didn't start anything man. I just stated my opinion that I think halos are the shi t. You are the one telling me that they are crap. I don't need to hear that, bringing people down doesn't usually make them feel good. But hey ure the older and more wise one so you know all dude.

Sorry to say I have to agree with sooner, don't jump into the pool and start splashing everybody. The projectors suck plain and simple, ok they may look "good" when they aren't on but the minute you turn them on they look god awful, bloobs of light across the road doesn't go well (TO ME at least) with the clean sleek look of the max. I can speak of this because I almost got them until I saw them on another Max at night and was blown with how crappy the beam pattern was.

also.....with the projectors....those who have actually installed HIDs in the projectors shold know(atleast from my experience) that you need to position the actual HID bulb in a certain way otherwise the beam pattern is horrible....i mean it still isn't that great but when you put the bulbs in a certain position the pattern is somewhat straight....i still have to work on mine (just too cold out)...thats why i asked the bulb size b/c i might just buy a new kit and forget all the figuring out. I never used the stock bulbs that came w/my projectors so i cant comment on the beam pattern with a REGULAR h3 buld....but with HID's it makes a real difference......and also everyone has such high expectations on these projectors(they're not bmw lights and they're not oem where you would get a straight pattern).....they're AFTERMARKET projectors for a couple of hundred dollars....now if the set costs a G or better than thats a different story
also with everyone calling eachother newbie this and newbie that....look at the year you all joined......2004!!!!....so in all actuality you guys are all on the same boat ,so for those of you who are arguing with eachother ...you 're really on the same level....(NEW TO THE ORG )..which isnt even about that....so come on fellas, just cut it out..we're all men..and if you guys really have problems with eachother talk/debate/argue in person.....NOBODY's a tough guy ONLINE talking sh*t.....does that make any sense?

. If you fellas refer back to his FIRST post, it was a simple question of what bulb is used by the projectors. He didn't ask about anything else. We've had thousands of projector threads where people bite each others head off, it'll never change.
, oh and for the new people that are refered to as newbies, welcome to the org

That's it, Jay. I'm kicking your a*s. Not internet tough my nuts, beotch.
=D
BTW: Word of advice. Sell the projectors, sell the HID kit you have and buy 02-03 OEMs instead. They only cost $550 for a new set now.
Edit: And yeah, even though I'm still rather new...I'm also the non-newbiest newb here, largely because of my meets. :P

, oh and for the new people that are refered to as newbies, welcome to the org i was replying to his "my projectors are the ****" comment where he flipped someone off. i was just telling him that the projectors are garbage and gave the reasons...the reasons everyone else agrees with. maybe that should mean something....projectors are crap and i was right

Yes you could get a set of OEM Hids that look good, but almost every 5th gen max on the road has them. Whats wrong with trying to be a little different, and going with the projectors and HID kit. At least your lights will not look like every other max.

Arnold.... stop worrying about other people's car and worry about your own!!!! Just cuz u had bad experience with projectors 
You don't have to tell everyone else not to get them...the look hot on Jay's car
Atleast 5th Gens have nice affordable projectors us 4th Gen guys gotta dish out about $600 for some for our cars that in IMO don't look all that great.
Arnold you telling me to drop my car, yeah i agree it'll look better but I have a kit and unless you get a kit in ur car
