Projector: (S2000)



Non-Projector: (IS300)



To the best of my knowledge, in order to get a real OEM HID compatible setup you need to either buy it from the parts department (mucho $$$), salvage it from a wreck at the junkyard, or you can scour ebay. Both the IS300 and S2000 are designed for HID in their headlamp unlike a civic for example. The reason for two bulbs would be, I think, bi-xenon HID, being that your high beams are also HID. Personally, I think high beams should stay as regular Halogens cause once you get true HID you rarely need to use your high beams any more. That, coupled with the fact that HID takes a few moments to heat up, and should not be flicked on and off rapidly, are not favorable conditions for HID in the high beams.

You're probaby thinking of Retrofits which is what you'll need done to your car in order to have the HIDs work properly with your car. If you need some projectors, I have some E46 Bi-xenon projectors(BMW) I can sell you. I've been doing retrofits for people for about 3 years now and have plenty of vouchs for my work

its for just the bare headlight.
i hit a deer. broke my hand too, so excuse the shitty tag.
its a 2005 headlight. its mint except for the mounting tabs.. they snapped, so the light bounces around.
