your OEM HID will not work in these housings like a plug and play type. even with there will EXTREME glare.

you can get these headlights and run aftermarket HID kits which can vary from $60-200 i've seen in many Group buy's, most of them are a hair over 100$, our OEM bulbs are like d2r or d2s and those headlights on ebay will most likely be 900x or Hx bulbs.

Listen. do NOT get/use ebay headlights. I have a temporary set on my car right now (the jdm black ones) since my OEM headlights are being modded by ivorygt as I type this. They have HORRIBLE fittment and fog up like no other. Being that these are temp's for me I laugh everytime I see it fog up. It does not sit flush to the lines of the car and pops up over the hood on the passanger side. OEM FTW!

Promise you not oem. the 2nd ones you listed are my temps right now on the car. They are not OEM. If you want OEM. Going to have to look for genuine OEM headlights on there. The ones with the fancy pictures usually are the cheapo ones. I can even take some pics to show fitment and horrible fog/condensation issues

the only reason any of us on here have been buying the ebay set was to replace the cover. The stock headlamps would yellow after awhile no matter how much polishing you do. Sucks too! As far as the rest of the headlamps, well it uses cheap foglamp bulbs and the housing is poorly made. Nothing but crap IMO.
