It appears they come with H7's in both the High's and Low's.

Well Sammy, that's where one has to "man up" and open the stock headlights and these aftermarkets, and swap the projectors, leveling motors, and ballasts, so they can utilize factory HID, with a better look than the Depo's, and at less than half the cost.
All you need is an oven, patience, and a flat head screwdriver to get them open. In the case of 2003 permasealed stock lights though, you would have to cut those open if you were swapping the internals.
This was documented well in a thread in 2009, search google for "ebay headlights xoutpost" and you'll find the thread, nearly all OEM internal components swap over to the aftermarket headlights.
