i can't tell you what bulbs the particular projectors will use, but an H4 is dual filament and projectors don't use those, so no, they won't
they should come with bulbs though

they will most likely use an H1 or an H3 bulb, or a combination of both (i.e. H3 for low beam, H1 for high beam)

it should say on the bulb it self what it is right, my low beams burned out and im using my highs for tempary in low beam spot there not bright enough to make ppl flash cause there adjusted can i take the bulb to advanced or autozone and they be able to give me replacement?

yea, seal them right along where the plastic clear lens meets the housing
many of them have fogging problems because they are not sealed.

ashcheerit2000, you must have just gotten lucky and gotten a sealed pair of headlights. If you ever have the front bumper off for another reason I would seal them while it's off, but since you said you don't have fogging problems I wouldn't take the bumper off only to seal the headlights.

my projectors from ebay came with bulbs.....but if you're replacing them just go off of the bulb part #.

and yes, silicone sealant ftw.....well not really the win because mine still leak, but it helps lol

Lol there should be a sticky on aftermarket headlights and the need to seal them with silicone.
