I have the moisture problem in one of my headlights on my Z. I have an 03 base model so I have non HID headlights which I know. I have been browsing ebay seeing if I can find a new headlight. Majority of the headlights I see on ebay are xenon. They don't mention anything about HID. Is this the correct headlight for me?

 

H.I.D and Xenon are the same thing and you will want to get an H7 conversion kit to swap. I have one for sale for cheap if interested.

 

but dont forget there are Xenon Headlights that are crappy, and isnt the actual XENON but a XENON style headlight

 

Check the appropriate Service Bulletin titled “Headlights Fogging.”

 

HID stands for High Intensity Discharge. It refers to lighting technology that relies on an electrical charge to ignite xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. The technology of HID automotive lamps is similar to that of common vapor-filled street lamps. HID lighting doesn't have a filament but instead creates light by igniting an arc between two electrodes. HID lights get their name from the intense white light produced by the electrical discharge. HID lamps are also called xenon lamps, referring to a gas inside the lamps. HID general lighting has been used for years in sports arenas and stadiums around the country.

 

Do you have a link that has this specific TSB?

 

I know what HID is I had them on my last car. I am just trying to figure out the correct description of the new headlight housing I need.

 

There is no difference between the HID and non HID headlights from what I have seen. I know I installed an OEM HID kit into my buddies base model and it looks just like mine.

 

What do you mean? Just go to a place and tell them what car you drive right??? +1 the bulbs are H7.

 

I dont need bulbs my housing has moisture in it and I am planning on replacing it. I have been looking on ebay for a used complete assembly and was trying figuring out which housing I needed. If you look on ebay they have ones that say D2R, Xenon or do not say which light model it is.

 

if you are looking for the real hid housing and lights that come on most z there is a guy on here named jun just pm him and he will sell you a great set at a really good price i got some from him and they look like they came with the car

 

the housings (whether HID or halogen) are the same.

 

excellent thats the answer I was looking for thanks

 

Bring It Back To The Dealer! Light Are Under Warrenty. I Just Had My Headlight Replaced By The Dealer. I Have The H.i.d's So They Replaced It For Everything For Me..i Had The Same Problem With The Headlight Fogging Up....
