Default TYC Projector bulb size

As the title says i am unsure of the bulb size in these projectors http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW The reason i need to know is i am looking to get these and a set of plug and play HID headlights...My guess is that the bulb size is an H1 for the low beam (which is what i am in need of) If anyone has these and can verify the size that would be great, or if anyone has any personal experience with them. The car is a 2000 accord coupe.

Also i want to order this all at once and install them next weekend, so please no smart responses like "how about you check it out once they arrive"

Lows are H1s for sure. As for the rest, I'm trying to figure it out now.

I've got them.

Lows are H1. I am pretty sure highs are the same....but not for certain.

What HID's r u using? I had to file mine out a bit for the bulb to fit.

Highs are the same too. The little round light right next to the low beam's a 168 and the turn signal/parking light is a 3157. Personally, I want to find a high output LED for the 168 since I think it's the turn signal byitself but I keep forgetting to check since it's not my daily. And how'd you know I'm running HID in the accord?

I'm using O-Nex in them, in 5000 or so. NO blue. No mods, they just "clip" right in. They've been in the car for maybe a year and I just had to replace the fuse in the harness. I got one of those battery harnesses that connect the ballasts directly to the car's battery, then use the "turn on" signal to activate the relay (effectively turning on the ballasts). Let me know if this is helpful.

The little round light next to the low beam inside the TYC housing? When I installed them I looked and there is no opening for a bulb. Even if there were, there is no source for the light to get power.

bulbs 168 and 194 are the same for the corner lights (not included w/ tyc housing).
