Default HID Plug n Play with 07

Hey guys, this may be a completely idiotic question, but bear with me, im new at this stuff.

If I were to purchase this HID plug n play kit, would they fit in my 07 OEM heads? I have seen retrofitting metioned in regards to HIDs and I'm confused on the subject.

Heres the kit:

If its one thing that's commonly known amongst HID users, its the fact that you get what you pay for. $40 seems like a cheap kit. Also, check the stickies up at the top of the Exterior forum, tons of info there. If not, HID Planet forums help too. Search bud. IBTL? lol

^^^But it seem to be well known throughout some other forums. I probably would not get the Apexcone Raptor but I would go for the DDM HID kit slim ballast for $50. I heard a lot of good things about the DDM kit.

To the OP:

You do not have to retrofit the existing headlight housing for hid to work. You only need to retrofit if you want that crisp clean cutoff line that it produce and to reduce glaring. The stock housing is not made for HIDs but many people will stick them in there. It will glare and not produce a pronounce cutoff.

I would get your HID kit from HIDExtra. They ship quickly and they cost $60 with their promotion code. Installed 6000k hid with 35 watt ballast and they look great.

Look into McCullochs. They're pricey but worth it apparently. My cousin put them in his G37 I think, and my friend put them in his Si. Zero problems, and they've had it on their cars for quite some time, longer than mine that's for sure. I ran into one problem with my kit from HIDExtra. I'm to lazy to troubleshoot lol. I'm gunning for the McCullochs next time my current kit goes out.
