You're looking at H4 bulbs. Someone will be able to tell you the correct size and type for your car. It may also list it in the manual.

Pretty sure the legality lies with the h.i.d kits not being self leveling as such to not blind an oncoming car on hills and such.

Jump into a new car with hids and turn them on and watch them adjust up and down to level
