Yeah, the H7 is the correct bulb.

The output will be brighter even without projectors but it is recommended to use projector headlights so you won't blind the oncoming traffic (since regular headlights don't have cutting point).

the purpose of the projector........is to "project the light". So if you just put in the kit in a regular housing you end up with light that annoys other drivers. I wish the honda and subaru crowd would understand this in my area. You'll get the high intensity but not the intended effect.

Projector lenses should be in your future.
