Default HID headlight replacement

Can I replace the HID headlight assemblies with regular headlight assemblies? I have a 2008 RX350 and since one of my is completely shattered, I thought I might just replace them with regular ones. They are a lot cheaper, but I don't won't to have to re wire or any lights to come on in the dash.
thanks

Default They are expensive

As I recall they are over $1000. Your insurance should cover and your deductible is probably less than a halogen light. I don't think I have ever seen anything except a hid light in the RX however.

My dealership told me that the HID lights are a warranty part so I'd talk to your local dealer first before anything else.

check ebay there are plenty of them on there. Do you still have your HID ballasts or do you need them too?

Here is a brand new one for $419.00

or you can purchase a used one for around $200 all you have to do is look around.
