Default HID Bulb Sizes? Help?

Alright guys I'm planing on buying one 55w 5000k hi/low Apexcone Raptor HID Kit (for my headlights) and one 35W 5000k Apexcone Raptor HID Kit (for my fog lights) All from DDM Tuning.
So i looked up what size bulbs fit in my 2001 f150 and they say 9007 for hi/low beam headlights and 9145 for Fog/Driving Lights. However DDM Tuning doesn't sell this size bulb with there kits, yet several people have told me they have ddm tuning kits in they're f150's.
So I'm curious is there some other size that i don't know about which i would need for the kit?
link for the site: http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Ap...Raptor-HID-Kit
thanks for any and all help!

IIRC, H10s are the same size as the 9145s

it is 9007 xenon HID kit for both hi and low beams and H10 HID kit(instead of 9145 HID size) for fog lights....
9145 is stock HID size for 2001 f150, but most aftermarket HIDs use H10 as a replacement ....

u can get 9007 bi-xenon HID kit for dural beam (hi and lo) working together ....

Just remember our F150's don't have the proper projector housings so the HID light will be very "unclean" and can be a hazard to on-coming traffic. You will want to carefully aim your headlights, especially if your truck is lifted.

I used the DDM 9006 kit in my Acura Integra (factory projector headlights) and they are absolutely awesome compared to a standard halogen bulb. I went with 8000k 55W and never even have to use my hi-beams! I re-aimed them so as to not blind anyone and can see so much farther and better at night than I ever could with those high dollar Silverstars!

haha yeah sorry this is a late response but ive already ordered both kitsand installed them, got HID 6000k 55W hi/lo heads and 6000k 35W fogs, and to be honest i enjoy the attention others give me in the form of one finger, just cause i have bright lights!

in fact, all aftermarket HID kits are illegal on street.... if ur HID lights are damn sharping to on-coming traffic, just be cautious you will become the target of cops on street.....
