look in the owners manual for the proper size of light bulbs for the high and low beams.
lights for lamps on cars are basically made so that they won't fit in a different socket or outlet, with different male and female ends, tabs, notches and so on.
i think h11 is your low beam, and 9005 is your high beam.

If the cops are picky then why the crap would you put the purple lights. Doing something like that is asking them to pull you over. And really it's your fault if you do. Stick with the bright white to slightly bluish tint. And you shouldn't have to worry. If you want the HID check out

It's easy to replace the H11 low beams with H9s. You just have to mod them a little bit. I started a thread about this with DIY links a while back. The difference in light output is very significant.
H11 = 55W/1200 lumens
H9 = 65W/2100 lumens
Someone probably even has blue H9s for those who prefer color to useful illumination.
