Headlight advice needed
I got some led lights for my license plate and decided I want to replace my main headlights with some hid/led bulbs. I'm pretty much clueless on this.
Right now, I have some regular yellow bulbs in from advance auto parts. I don't want those extra, extra, extra bright bulbs that make you want to brake check someone when they're behind you. Just something to match my license plates that are going to be a hell lot better than the stock ones. Any help is appreciated

Hmm, I'm guessing they're standard halogens. Its a risk to put HIDs into a reflector because it blinds other people in front of you. I generally say that at minimum there should be a projector as part of the set up in order to put them in but thats just me.
Regardless, go here and look it up for your car. Then order from the appropriate vendor of your choice.

Cool thanks. Are HID bulbs just regular bulbs like the stock ones? Do I have to replace all the lights (fog, main and brights) or can I just do the main ones?
Can u explain the difference between reflector and projector? Appreciate it

Reflector is taking multiple mirrors to reflect light forward. Projectors are like a super focused beam of light so its sharper. An example of reflectors is a 90s Civic's headlights and projectors as the new GS/LS/ES/RX's headlights
