Default Going HID in a SC300

Hey guys i've been researching HID kit for sc300 and what it takes to get it to work properly.
I know my low beam bulbs are 9006 size but one of my friends just gave me a kit he was gonna install on his bmw 330.. which is a H7 bulb size.

Question is, is there a way i can make this work since it was freee? also, do i NEED projectors?

I don't think an H7 can work on the SC. You don't need projectors since the SC already has them. You can retrofit projectors from other cars like the Acura TSX for greater light output though.

you can buy 9006 HID bulbs and hook them up to your ballast that you have now.
