Default hid housing

is there any difference between the factory non hid housing and the hid housing (light beam out different,back of housing different size to acomodate the hid bulb?) just wondering it looks the same when comparing online but havent seen both out of car in person?

I am also looking to replace my non-HID with HID. Is it possible to switch the assemblies without any other modifications?
