if you've got stock headlights, you should only be removing the stock bulbs from within the engine bay (pull them out through the back of the housing into your engine bay) - no removal of anything else. HID install is pretty straight forward and quick. You may encounter flickering of your headlights depending on what your installing though.

if you were going for projectors you should've just saved your money as now you're going to have to get another HID kit for your projectors since they're different bulbs

but yeah i guess you should be okay with leaving the housings in since its stockers
