no, PepBoys is full of poop. your headlight should be H7 for HIGH beam
and D2R for HID/xenon/low beam. the cost will be more like $50-100
see pic of D2R here----> CLINK

I doubt you'll stroll into a local auto parts store and find these. They sort of fall into that "dealer-only" category. They're crazy expensive via the dealer.
I've purchased a few times on feeBay. They can be had for around $20 or so each (+ ship) if you hit it right.
The color cast of the new bulb may look very different compared to the old bulb. They tend to shift color as they age. I just installed a set of Philips 5000k bulbs a couple of weeks ago. They're much better (to my eyes).
good luck, E!
