Message	market you are just replacing the bulb but using your same reflector housings. The OEM are not as blinding to drivers as the aftermarket ones. The optic aim is more precise and tuned in the OEM. That is why OEM is alway superiour to aftermarket. When I was shopping for my Lexus GS. I made dam sure it had the OEM HIDs. There are differences between the two.
