I'm not sure what you're asking.

Many have used aftermarket HID kits in OEM projector housings. The Sport trim came with halogen projector headlights.

The GT trim came with HID headlights from the factory, and have a better lens than the Sport ones. You can swap in GT headlights into a Sport.

Sorry, I thought that i just need to change one bulb, but now I know I need two, both head beams all need to be replaced. Projector housings kit usually perfect, but this time I dont need, just bulbs would be fine.

I driving on country road every day, so I want the bulbs brightness enough, I think at latest 5000K, and lighting can throw out long distance, any suggestion will be appreciated

I don't really know what you're asking for either. But I'll try to help, go here for your HID related needs:

If brightness is all you want, mount a 13,000 lumens light bar, that'll sure brighten it up. And it'll cost you less than half that.
