Default Headlamp help, please

Hi Guys. I just bought a used 04 Rx330 and looking to replace the headlight housing unit. I keep finding ones I like that say “for factory HID only” and I believe mine is factory halogen. Is there an easy adapter that would allow me to use the HID ones I found? Or should I keep looking for a halogen replacement? I really like the LEDs on the bottom of these...

Got a link to the listing? If you're comfortable doing some basic wiring you can use the above lamps.

Thank you! I’m decent with wiring, or at least comfortable enough to try if you think I could make it work. I’ve had such a hard time figuring this out!

If you are sure you do not have HIDs on your RX (does not have the glass "eyeballs") you can go two routes:

1. Buy aftermarket halogen assembly with a projector lens for the low beam (has the eyeball) then install an aftermarket HID or LED kit. You will need to adjust the beam pattern properly since they're made for halogen.
2. Buy aftermarket HID no AFS assembly and source used Denso ballasts. They come up here and there on ebay, junk yards, or theretrofitsource.

I like the look of those led lights/strips too!!! I may have to look into that myself if i ever happen to get any spare change in my bank account to use.
