How do I know what kind of headlights I have?

Every headlight is designated with a bulb size. For a bulb installed in your car, you can find the number stamped or printed on the side of the bulb. It’s also listed in the service manual and in an auto bulb guide. Only the correct bulb size will fit in the headlamp housing and connect to the factory wiring.

Yes but only through changing your entire headlight assembly to LED. HID to LED conversion kits are not recommended and do not perform well.
