Default Headlights

My 2010 GT requires extensive front end work since hitting a deer. I've picked out a hood and bumper cover. Since I have to replace my headlights I was looking at these:

Are these lights the same as HIDS? Does anyone have an opinion about them?

Anyone know how much stock HID's go for? I think the stock headlights are around $320.00.

It says there that they aren't intended for use with HID's, pretty sure these still run off your standard halogen bulbs. I've been running HID's on my stock headlight setup for a few years now withiout any issues. I know projectors help increase visability when running HID's, maybe you should look into a retrofit kit of some kind.

Tutone,

I'm sorry to hear about the damage to your car, however I'm glad you're okay!

Our Raxiom headlights are just a halogen bulb set up. They give you a really cool aggressive look with the smoked lens and halo light! IMO they make the front of your car look amazing.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance!

Thanks for the responses everyone. Still not sure what I'll do, but I need to figure it out soon - they are beginning to order parts.
