Default IS250/350 projectors

if my car didn't come with HIDs are the projectors the same as the others that did come with HIDs?

someone told me they're halogen projectors as opposed to HID projectors.

From the outside the projectors may look the same but the internals/optics are totally different and as lexus03 said, one takes D4S bulb and the other a halogen H11 bulb.

On the 2IS's that got the AFS option, the projectors will actually turn when your car is turning. Of course these also come with true HID's (4800K).

But for the extra $1200 or so to upgrade to AFS, it would be much cheaper just to buy yourself a XenonDepot kit.

If Non-AFS, then just retro them, you can find OEM HID 2IS projectors on eBay for cheap! It will be much better than a kit!
