Default 2004 Black housing headlights W/ Oem Hid

Ok, so both of my oem headlamps have been cracked but the HIDS are still good.

I'm going crazy looking everywhere to buy "Black Housing Headlights" compatible with the OEM HIDS. I have checked ebay and all I see is for the Non-HID model !

Does anyone have a clue where I am able to purchase these black housings? OEM style, compatible with OEM HID system. I have an 04 Touring edition .


Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Upgrade to the '06-'09 headlights. They perform and look better.

Also cost a ton.

Op, basically your headlights Are "non hid" there is just a piece of glass there to make your headlight look like a projector. So those eBay ones will work, but I also do suggest upgrading to the 06+ that have the actual projector

As the saying goes, it's OEM or nothing.

Wut? You do know there is a difference between xenon and a projector lens? 03-05 xenons are just single, 06+ are bi-xenon.

OP you can pick up a set of 06+ OEM lights pretty cheap. They are on here all the time.

What he's trying to say is that '03-'05 "projectors" are not true projectors. They're really just reflectors with projector lenses in front of them. That is why they use D2R bulbs and not D2S bulbs.
