If your car normally takes H4 for high/low beam then they will work. I would stay away from the 10k ones tho' and take something with more light output - maybe 6k. Not only for the better light but also avoiding the cops!!!
is it illegal to have the 10k or 12k ones cause idk im new to cars really i just bought my fisrt car which is the b-13 and ive also got a 86 900 ninja like off top gun lol but i really dont kno anything about cars so i need all the help i can get lol

I believe all HID conversion kits in a HALOGEN housing (without a proper projector retrofit) are illegal but most people don't really care and do it anyway. Putting blue/purple lights on your car will just attract more attention.
oh ok thanks man and do you happen to kno where i could find out what housing size my lights are? cause like i said im new to cars i was delivering a pizza one night at work and seen the b-13 and went the next day to look at in and it was in perfect shape idk who had it but it only has 73k on the meter when i bought it so it runs awesome.
yea i thought it was a good deal too, and idk my brother was saying something about the housing size cause he's got a 91 240sx and he bought some 6k's and they dont fit his headlight housing and he said now he's gotta spend about $100 each on the headlights housings then he's gotta drill the holes out bigger just so they'll fit so in all spending $500 on all that stuff just doesnt really seem worth it all to me espcially the way the economy is right now lol

The HID bulbs are a little longer than a halogen bulb but there should be enough clearance in the front of the lens for them to fit anyway. You will have to take a look at the part where the base of the bulb fits into the housing - that's where it might give trouble depending on how it's made up. Maybe someone with similar car/headlights can answer your question better. Good luck....
