Default non-HID to HID, please help....

hey guys, i need some quick help if possible....
my car has has HID headlights needed to replace it bc broken lenses so i bought one from ebay but got screwed on and received a non-HID headlight...... and it is much of a hassle to return it and all. i have all the computer parts and such from the old headlight, so is there a way i can convert it to make non-hid to hid? the old headlight had a broken lenses only, so i can basically use everything from the old one. please help, thanks

Do a search for "retrofit" and you will find instructions on how to take your headlights apart. Then all you have to do is swap the lenses. Then put the extra parts for sale in the classifieds. Jeffsai has a very good step by step instruction on his website.

you can bake and take out the lens and put it on the old housing, if you want to go through all that

what about all the connectors and plugs from the cars to the headlight? how would that fit? there seems to be more plugs from the car than places to put them in the non-hid... thanks for help so far guys. please continue w/ inputs.
