I have an easy quick question about the OEM Xenon headlights, I was looking at the for sale section and some guy is selling OEM Xenon headlights and I thought I read that HID's dont come with the Xenon projectors? Is that right?? I got the Xenon option ($550) and hope it comes with HID's and not regular stock halogens bulbs.

 

Regarding the OEM MINI headlamps, "HID" and "Xenon" are used interchangeably. HID lamps use an electrical arc to produce light, while halogen lights use current passing through a metal filament to produce light. Halogen bulbs won't work with HID systems, and vice versa. If you got the Xenon option, you'll have HID lamps, not halogens.

 

Cool, thats what I thought, thanks!!!

 

And they are awesome!
