umm...you cant just put the bulbs directly into your car, you would have to get an HID kit with the harnesses and ballasts....

What does a HID kit come with? Harnesses and Ballasts? And also what kind of bulbs do I need, is it 9004 or H4 size bulbs? And also what kind of HID bulbs would I need, or does the kit tell me which??

this isn't as simple as you think it is. D2S bulb you will need FACTORY ballasts and harnesses not aftermarket. you don't want D2S in your reflector housing, it is made for shielded housing i.e. projectors. D2R is for reflector i.e. maxima 02-03 bulbs. this will not fit your H4 headlights. and those headlights will create too much glare for oncoming traffic. it will be easier for you to order H4 xenon kit than retrofitting factory D2S/D2R into your headlights. plus splicing wires and you 'll have no high beams. good luck.
