Default OE Replacement Headlights NON HID

The driver side headlamp had some trapped moisture, I referred to the DIY by baking and resealing but unfortunately didnt fix the problem. I dont wanna dish out $400 on a new set of oem ones so Im looking to get these; http://www.amazon.com/1998-2000-Lexu.../dp/B0023VIPH4

Has anyone had any issues with these as far as fitment and quality?

Check out Car-Parts-Wholesale

I verified the non-HIDs are OEM fit and quality and cost less than the ones on Amazon plus free shipping.

Enter your make and model on the following link: http://stores.ebay.com/Car-Parts-Wholesale

Those look like the same ones I have and they are HID's. Does that mean they just dont come with the HID bulbs/ballasts and connectors?

HIDs and non-HIDs look very much alike.



Besides the bulb & ballast, the non-HID version would not have the auto-leveling motor either.

Did you retrofit the oem HID? Or did it come with the car? I ordered these and plan on putting it in the NON HID lamps; http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-HID-F...-p4782946.html Where can I buy oem projectors and will it be plug n play?
