Stock HID bulb options?????????

Well I have 8k HIDs for my stock lights and am seriously looking at getting an aftermarket set of headlights for the car. Does anyone have an idea of a new set of headlights that have the same bulb size as the stock lights? I want a black housing too if anyone actually knows of anything. Thanks guys.

You're either gonna have to buy painted stockers, or paint them yourself because other than that all of our options are projectors and use a different bulb size.

Ya none of the projectors use the same size bulb nor do any retrofit projectors. Either paint your stock bulbs or buy a set of the anzo painted stockers

grab new bulbs there like 15 bucks and the stock reflectors throw light everywhere, get urself a set of 4th or 3rd gen's and pop in a new HID bulb. u dont need ballasts just the bulb and its liek 15 bucks. ddmtuning.com

I lied they marked them down to 12.50 for a pair of bulbs
