I've seen it explained plenty of times on here. If your car is indeed an 03-05 base like mine then you're only options are

A) Buy a set of 06-08 headlights. Even the base model for the 06-08 came with HID's, whereas the 03-05 base model only came with halogens. You will get both HI and LOW beam in HID with this route.

B) Buy an HID conversion kit, They are around 90-150 bucks depending what company, manufacturer, etc and you would need two kits if you wanted a HI/LOW beam in HID like the 06-08 headlights. Otherwise you could just settle for the low beam kit like I did and keep the cost down. This option is not as quality as the 06-08 headlights as the housing and a couple of other parts of the 03-05 halogen headlights was not intended to be used for HID lighting.

Hope this clears some things up for you, but I would research your car a bit more and learn more about it before you go tearing into it

sigh....this took all two seconds and didn't even have to open a link to find out that they are 8 pin. Although I don't think you should even try if you cant even do a simple google search
