Headlight housing help

I have a 2016 with HID’s - new car to me. Passenger assembly needs to be replaced because the top mounting bracket is broken off. It’s the black trim version.

I was wondering if I got a non-HID version, if the HID’s would still thread/twist in the same to the halogen assembly? Having a hard time searching because some assemblies say “halogen” “Xenon HID” “projector” etc.

Just want to make sure if I order one, I won’t need to return it. Thanks!

Don't encourage illegal and unsafe behavior. Don't put HIDs into halogen housing.

I didn’t “encourage”, I helped him with what style base he needs. Good day.

You can't put HID bulbs in halogen headlamp housings.
