I see on one of the pics in the ad it says 13.5V output....will that be a problem?

9003 Bulbs will also fit.

If you are not using projectors please use the D2R style bulbs and not the D2S. It helps to prevent unnecessary glare.

Decent Article

They would be in the kit. The ones in the links that you posted appear to be D2S.

They should be the same price and yes, they make a world of difference.

With D2S bulbs in a stock housing it will look like they highbeams are always on. This is very dangerous for other drivers, especially with the brightness of HID lighting.
