depending on manufacturer of the housing, (aftermarket can have different) most are H11, the honda ones are H11, so that would be the bulb u need

easiest thing to do, when i doubt, pull the bulb out, go to autozone, pepboys etc. and they will tell u, OR it will be printed on the bulb itself lol

it is more easy with the 08. All you need to do is replace the light control system (stalk). I have done with my installation within 3 hours.

AHhh, can someone help me with directions on removing the green. white and blue connectors in the interior fusebox? I can't seem to get it off, and one of the clips broke on the green connector.. I think im doing it wrong~! Anyone else have trouble with it? TIA.

On the right side of each harness, you'll see those U-shaped white plastic levers. Those have to be gripped by the right edge and pulled back toward you. They'll POP, and then swivel up, allowing you to pull the harness out.

(Cant edit my post for some reason)
Also it might sound like you broke the clip but it probably isn't broken. They're in there really tight.

Thanks Ryan, I'll give it a try today. But looking further ahead at the directions, why do I have to pull out all 3 connectors when I will only be working on the white one?

Yea actually a couple of folks have put HID's in the fogs already. Talk to Maiku he did it. Its not tough if you find a spot to mount the ballast.
