If my car came with hid headlights, can I still buy non hid headlights and be able to install them?

STL05

why would you want to?

Because mine are broken in pieces, and I need new ones. But new hid headlights go for 450 each, and I can get them without for 230 each. That's a lot of money. I was able to save the hid kit that the others have so I want to make sure I can use the plugs for the non hids...??

STL05

oh i see that is lot of money man. I would assume they would plug and play but I dont have much info on this. Maybe shoot charles at bhr a message he will prolly know more.

HID bulbs are d2s bulbs, and the non HID cars came with h7 bulbs, you can keep the ballast and buy H7 HID bulbs from v-leds.com or any other similar site but the beam pattern from the projector on the non HID lights are different, and they wont have the block off plates, meaning on coming drivers will be blinded by your lights

I would contact paul at mazmart to see if he has any headlights laying around or check with your local import junk yards, maybe you'll get lucky

I had no luck. Called about 20 junk yards no one has anything for this car. Can I just go to the local shop and buy an hid kit?

i use ddm slimline HID kit and it's worked solid for me for about 8 months. also try v-leds.com

I'm not sure...ask any electrical shops and they will let you know

So I bought the non hids headlights. I transfer all wires from one light to the other and that's it. The only thing I can't connect is something that looks like is to adjust the light. And the warning white cap that goes behind the low beam..

Meh, whoever buys your car next is in for a rude awakening. www.mazmart.com, www.partsgroup.com or www.revvinsevens.com could have hooked you up. But I guy you had to do what you had to do.

I can't pay $1000 for headlights, I looked all over no one wanted less than $400 for each hid headlight, and I needed to fix the car asap. So I tried that n it worked, is not bad at all. But thanks anyways..
