A: No. These headlights are built to use your original halogen bulbs. If you want to upgrade to HID or LED, make sure they are the correct bulb type and fit your housing.

Q: My turn signal socket doesn’t seem to fit.
A: Double-check that you’re using the original socket and bulb. The projection housing is designed for OEM-type sockets only.
