some people dont like the HID ones

form what i understand you cant use hid model if you originally have the halogens? has something to do with the autoleveling in the trunk. maybe brian can chime in.


another option is to polish your old ones! or retrofit them with some projectors

u can use the HID on non HID models just fine.....the auto leveling just wont work BUT since they OEM HID they will have shrouds to put aftermarket HIDS in them without blinding folks.....

There are two height control sensors for the Auto Leveling system, one of which is in the trunk area.

Does anyone make stock looking headlights with black housings?

I don't like the black projector ones on eBay. I know I've seen them a few times here on the forum, not sure if everyone was separating them and painting or what...
