No. H.I.d.s will fit in any housing. Some people say not to cause they get hot...but so do halogens. My only suggestion would be to upgrade your housing to get the most use of them. Myself along with a lot of others on the forum prefer TYC housings. Ddmtuning.com for hids..can't beat the price.

it will be a lot brighter but your gonna need clear lenses to get the most from them. ddm has a chart on their site to help pick which color to go with..just remember the blue-er you pick the less light you get. also go with the 55w kit i had the 35w kit which i was very happy with but still wanted brighter so i ordered the 55w kit, they say its 40% brighter..at least 40% brighter is more like it
