Even HUD isn't the cluster though. That's the cool stuff thats projected on the windshield. The cluster is the cluster.

lol..agreed..bulb is 9007 and if you get a plug and play kit (which most are) you do not need anything else. i converted mine to HIDs and i love them and very easy to wire up.
mount the ballasts
plug in the wires to/from ballast and lightbulb
test burn for about 10-15 minutes (turn lights on and keep on)
call it a day
have a drank

wait bulb number may not be right..mine is a 9007 bulb but your year might be different. i have a 99 sunfire so that's why

what ever bulb you use in your headlight housing , what ever it is will be the HID kit you buy.
for example 9007 bulb you'll buy the 9007 kit at what ever K you want..

I would recommend 7500k to a 9000k gos from white to a slight tint of blue,

but do some asking around at your local car shop to get the idea.

it would be way to bright with out projectors, like blinding to on coming drivers. you need projectors to "project"/ point the light

04 sunfire.. = Low beam = h11
High beam = H9

ignore all the BS above mine.. u dont need projectors either.. I also sell kits. Let meknow if you dont have one already i can get u a good deal on a "good" kit aswell..
