There is a big difference, and no, they will not fit.

The bulb bases and focal points are completely different, as are connectors.

Stay far... far... FAR far farrr away from HID kits. They suck. Period.

Retrofit HID projectors into your stock headlights, or stay with stock-wattage halogen lighting, perhaps upgrade to HIR bulbs or something.

This is a correct statement for sure. If you want that bliding effect, yet no improvement as far as foreground lighting i.e. bling bling go with a HID kit, if not save up for a true OEM hid retrofit setup.

For more ideas.

I had thought about getting an HID plug n' play, but had decided against it. I did however purchase some PIAA replacement bulbs. Atleast this is what I think they were. Its been only 7 months since Ive seen my car. Either way, the bulbs were a little pricey, but they look alot more attractive, and I noticed a little difference, high beams were def. brighter.


Best of luck
