Bound-to-get-flamed newb question! (headlights)

I know i'm asking for fire with this post, but--

I tried searching, and its been hard for me to find a website(or post) with the basics of headlights.

i just have these questions:

what's the difference between H1, H3, H4, etc. bulbs?

do certain types only fit in certain housings?

is there a difference in the actual light that is projected?

I just don't want to buy a 6000k kit only to find out that i needed an H4 when i payed for an H3, or vise versa---I'm trying to get a hold of the knightsports kit as well

thanks,

Then make sure you get the right bulb type for the FD. IIRC, we run H4 (9003) bulbs.
