Default retrofit in ebay headlights

I hit a deer a while ago in my integra and just for cost reasons i replaced my headlights with ebay black housing headlights.

My quesiton is, can you do a retrofit in those headlights in the same way you can with stock headlights. I dont really want to take them apart/buy all the stuff just to find that you cant retrofit them.

They should be the same as oem. Do you have the old headlights to do a comparison? Do they have the same adjustment features as the original's?

Lol, hit a deer huh? I hate it when that happens, Ive hit 2 already with my '91 accord, haha- luckily I havent hit another since Ive installed my new (and very fragile) body kit lol.

I bought black housing projectors for my '91 accord. I had HID's originally before I bought the projector's. My old stock light bulb was a 9006. The new projector low-beams took an H3 (generally used as a fog light bulb! lol). Anyway I just ordered a HID retrofit kit with an H3 HID bulb, and Im all back to normal but with sweet looking headlights!

-Not all headlights (projector or not) will list the bulb size they use (as in my case, I didnt know untill I got them). If its not a projector type, and just a black housing type, then you may luck out and use the same bulbs as before. No matter which type of bulb it takes, there is a retrofit kit for any type of automotive headlight bulb.
