Default HID's and Halo headlights ?

Do the halo lights still use the 9007 bulbs ? I ask because I have HID's with stock headlights but I want different headlights. I am looking at the Anzo headlights and the Halo angel eye headlights. I want to keep my HID's but didn't know if the Angel eyes that are LED still used the same fitment as the 9007. To make it less complicated... I want to know if I can stick my HID bulbs in the Halo angel eye headlights.

No I think they use different bulbs huh? Don't know for sure...they look so cheesy and are cheaply made, you can get a set of your stockers retrofitted for not much more

I'm considering similar options, and from what I have learned projector lamps typically use an H1 style bulb for each hi & lo beam.

Most use 2 bulbs per headlight. H3 for low and H1 for high. Not as much output as 9007's due to the style of the bulb. Even though they are still 55w bulbs, they have less Lumen output.
Aftermarket pre-made projectors like ebay one's dont have great light output. They are strictly for looks only. Output is also hit or miss when installing HIDs because they are madefor halogens no HIDs which have a different length bulb.
