Default Projectors and Hids

I recently bought a projector set from ebay (Smoked) but the light distribution is really weak, I would say no more then 6 to 10 feet. So I purchased an HID kit but its the wrong size (H13 8000k Bi xenon) Does anyone know what the proper size would be for this.

Thanks and I would appreciate any help

Most of the projector headlights I've seen use either an H1 or H7 bulb. H1 seems to be most common. It should say on the bulb or light housing.

whatever type bulb you have in their now will be the same for the HID bulbs. But again, most projectors are H1s and I guess some are H7s.
