i think you can just drive down to any accessories shop (autobacs, mcwell etc) and ask them to help check the bulb size. perhaps you can ask if the voltage or watts (im not sure here) is compatible. usually they will install it for you at a small price but you can attempt it yourself and diy.
let us know how it goes : ) im a noob diy-er myself too hehe

if yours a 1.8 then you need to switch max 4000k HID
but its still a bit yellowish (you'll enjoyed a few secs of white when starting)
since yours a triple headlamp it should be under the same as fd civic
HB3/4, double check with the shop to confirm
do you know hid bulbs cost a bomb each?

Don't change to HID lah. Will keep getting cursed by the driver in front of you. Just get the OSRAM night breaker bright enough already.

isnt HID kits in the market now less than $200 including installation?
There's many many many shops doing this, just need to find a reputable one and get a good installation done.
