Headlight swap HID

Hi my name is Amber i am new here.

I have a 2003 Mini Cooper S with the factory HID headlights and I want to replace them.

All the aftermarket headlights state they are not compatible for my car because they have the factory HID lights. Anyone found any that will work or what are the options?

I was hoping to get one of the blacked-out styles.

Hi Amber. Welcome to NAM. Your best bet might be to research the Forums and talk to ECS or Way Motor Works

I would do a joey mod if the lenses were not so yellow and cloudy. I've used the restore kit on them before, but they don't come out looking new.
