I tried searching, but the search engine doesnt get very specific with the searches. I went through like 10 pages of threads and didnt find my answer.

Anyhow... can someone tell me what the difference is between the OEM HID headlight housing and the NON-HID housing? I see their pricing is different, but when i look at both housings they look the same to me? Is it something in the back of the headlight thats different? Does it accept a different bulb? I have oem hid, but my housings are all messed up, and i need new ones

 

Someone overbake there headlight housing?

Hmmm both housings look the same to me to...

 

I have a set of standard lights ----But the differance is, the Xenons have the transformers and differant bulbs ---The Standart lights can be switched to Xenons . The housings are the same
I dont have the transformers but I do have the bulbs

 

no, my headlight has a billion stress cracks on them. It happend after i put on the smoke overlays.





basically what i wanna know is can i just the housings from the non-xenon lights and just use my oem HIDs on them without any trouble?

 

Uhh....... ACTUALLY, they're not the same.

Refer to this thread for more info.

Explain ---That thread tells me nothing cept interior paint schemes

 

the only thing i see is where acree thinks the lense is a little different.

 

According to Acree, the HID headlights come with fresnel lenses and different internal reflector. And the halogen headlights have clear lenses.

 

Im curious ---The way I read it is that Acree is saying that applying black paint to some parts of the Xenon reduces reflectivity and the lense he is refering to is the lense on the bulbs not the housings ---The differant base for the Xenon bulb comes with the loom that fits in the Non xenon housing---Im painting my headlites this weekend and have been studying the parts of the Interior that will be hurt due to reduced reflectivity
The housings are the same ---- But because of the design of the xenon bulb compared to the non xenon differant interior reflectors have to be avoided as far as painting

 

Careful not to overcook lol Your headlights will look like a piece of modern art stuck to your stove rack. Its not a pretty sight

 

Thats funny !!! ---I wont ,,Im pretty good at that stuff ---Oven 200 ---turn it off --wait a minute or two then put the buns in the warmer !!!!

Would make a good paper weight though ---Long ago after ravaging a sweet young thing all nite ,,I sent her packin and stuck a burger in the oven. I fell asleep and woke up like 6 hours later ---I used that burger for a paper eight on my dresser for yrs

 

anyone anyone....
