HID AFS headlights vs halogen headlight fitment
Hey guys,
So due some idiocy, one of my headlights is now out of commision. I'm looking to pick up some halogen headlights for my 08, and it seems like lot of people have ones for sale that came with HIDs and AFS.
I understand that retrofitting AFS to a car that originally didn't come with it is a cost-prohibitive en-devour, but can I bolt up these headlights to my car and just use the stock HID without any of the AFS features? Obviously the bulbs are different and they come with ballasts, but is the main connector for the headlight assembly the same?
If anybody knows this answer and could reply semi-quickly, I'd really appreciate it

EDIT: Found this on sewell but having a hard time understand it. I can only find AFS components but not what the alternative halogen components would be (if they are indeed different)

You have no problem with putting HID AFS to Halogen headlight. They are bolt right up and connector is same. I did the swap for 3 cars and all good. Not single problem!!!
You also need D4S bulbs and 2 ballast. If you want to use universal ballast, you have to cover up the bottom hole (where ballast goes)
