Should I have HID's??

[cue244]

I am confused on my 300c. When you look at the headlights from the outside, it looks like my car would have the HID's. There are the round looking bulb housings. I parked next to a 300 Touring and noticed on his headlights, there was no round bulb housing, just the headlight bulb itself.

I def. do not have HID bulbs in the car, but should I?

300C comes stock with HID lights

i thought the only cars that came stock with the HIDs are the SRT8 300C. On the 5.7 300C it's an Option.

EDIT:

Went to Chrysler.. it's a $695 Option on 300C.

yep, all 300cs have projector headlights...but HIDs are a OPTION when we bought our car they did not have any cars on the lot with HIDs which made me sad

Well i learned something.. thank you )

So mine are just projector lights. That makes sense then. Thanks!!

do 300c halogen projectors look any different from HID projectors? how can you tell from looking at them from the outside?

I don't believe you can from the outside with the hood shut and the lights off. With the hood open you should be able to see the HID bulb vs the halogen twist bulb.

here is what my factory HID looks like from the outside, under hood.

but if the rubber cap is covering the bulb, then your SOL

[wanna300]

here is what i want to buy, cant tell if its HID or halogen.. it does say xenon on the tag, i believe xenon and HID are the same thing?



by the way, if the headlights dont come with the ballast+bulb, can i buy a HID kit (from stealth auto for example) that are D2S size?

i know i might not be able to mount the ballast in the factory headlamp location, but thats fine, as long as i can buy the HID kit

thanks
