No they are not the same. Halogen bulbs are the standard. HIDS (high intensity discharge) may look similar to some but require a ballast/starter combo for each bulb to work properly. Thay are also brighter while using less power. They both can be used with or without a projector housing. If you use a HID without the projector you will get a lot of uncontrollable light. The Halogen bulb has a peice of metal in the bulb to help direct light.
