FYI, Milan used H7's for my lows and H9's for my highs. He said that when using HIDs, the H7's were the better choice

Its been, I think, about two years and I have yet to have one burn out, for safetys sake you could always pick up a spare or two from rallylights. In my case, Checker Auto and Pep Boys can special order Hella, so if worse comes to worse, I could always get another H9 with their shipping delay. Another reason for the ECEs, the much more common H7.
Weasel, keep in mind there is only about a 200 lumen difference between the H7 and the H9 (H9s favor). The extra spread, IMHO, made the DOT lamp dimmer. However it is still night and day compared to the stock lamp so dont worry.
And FWIW, deer look like sticks sticking up out of the road since their bodies are dimmer above the cutoff. Its kinda strange when you realise what your seeing. 
There are no high beam projectors. Just the reflector based foglamp and highbeam, then the projector lowbeam. Contrary to what Milan had everyone believe, the true highbeam is considerably better then the modded lowbeam for the highbeam, especially if you plan on using them on the freeway at night.

Good luck and post how they turn out!!
Are they ribbed or smooth - I know that sounds like Condom types....but Acura integras are smooth, Ribbed show off more color right?

I assume you are refering to fluting on the lens itself (the black lens in the pics above). The DOT lamps have some very small ribs to blur the cutoff slightly. The cutoff isnt so sharp so you are less likely to have someone bright you when you go over a small bump in the road. The ECE lamps have a clear (unfluted) lens.
The fluting on the lens doesnt always effect color. If you push the cutoff shield towards the bulb about 1mm, your lamp will appear more blue. The colors in the center by the small step will have a lot more blue and purple in it. Since these colors can stray somewhat, you appear to be running a higher color temperature lamp. The opposite also holds true, and you will get more reds and yellows. I did this on my foggies that I built. Push in or pull out the shield too much and it will be too far past the focal point bluring your cutoff somewhat.
