yes it will not fit. you can't put the bulb in coz' nonhid is 9006 and hid is d2r. the whole mechanism in the back is different

also the reflectors are different between the two housing

ok you are confusing everyone here

do you have hid on your car now or not?! if not, then you have halogen, and you can't just stick a hid bulb in it.

if you have hid already, yes you can just get another hid bulb (d2r) and it will fit

they couldnt really do that without replacing a TON of wiring on the front.

make sure your not trying to replace ur highs or fogs on accident, since those use a dif bulb.
