Default headlight question

hey someone recently hit my vehicle and now im looking for headlights. i saw on ebay they have just the housings available and its stated that its for a halogen/non hid equipped vehicle. my question is: since i already have hids on my vehicle, can i get these type of lights and just "plug-and-play" my hids into them? or is there a different bracket or something on the housings themselves ? thanx!!

I'm almost positive that it would be a plug and play. There is only one quick-connect in the back of the headlight unit that plugs in. In order to remove the headlight, you must first remove the bumper, then it's cake after that.

You'll need a 10mm ranch for the four bolts that holds the headlight unit in. The wire for the quick connect is very short so you can't lift the headlights out very far. I found it easy to use a very long flathead screw driver for the driver's side. the passenger side, you have enough room to reach down, hence you'll need a very short screwdriver.
