h7 = halogen bulb used in a projector almost identical to xenon becuase the bulb placement is identical.

d2r= coated xenon capsule (hid) used in a reflector setup like in the new cl

d2s= xenon capsule used in a projector like in bmw and audi

H.I.D.= high intesinty discharge also XENON. d2r and d2s bulbs are used in a H.I.D system along with ballasts. a kit rebases a d2s or d2r bulb into a 9006, h4, h7 connector

not really 9006 projectors suck ass. how bout you buy oem h7 projectors, bulbs, and ill include wiring adapters for $80 or jus the projectors for 50. they will be from a audi, bmw, jag etc. good shit. not cheap aftermarket. and if you ever wanted you could get a h7 hid kit and it would work awesome with the h7 projector. almost identical to a xenon projector setup.

no becuase a h7 projector is HALOGEN and you would be using a HALOGEN h7 bulb. not XENON. this setup would allow you to have the look of a projector, better light output, and the possibility to upgrade to a good xenon setup in the future by just purchasing a h7 kit. all you would need is an adapter from the 9006 connector to a h7 bulb to make these functional.

if u want a true xenon projector ill let them go for $125 a pair, you would also need xenon bulbs ($60-100 a pair on ebay), ballasts i got for $175 a pair, and you would need a proper wiring harness w/ relays and fuses if you cant make one. ill sell you one but it will cost at least $60
