How can you tell the difference between HID housing and non-HID housing?

Can you tell by the output ?
The problem i'm having is that the output(cutoff) looks out of focus and the light intensitity looks to be about 50% less than then OEM.
I have an aftermarket kit - 4700k(?) with Hella Ballast. 12v going into the ballast in case anyone is wondering.
thx.

Actually the spot for mouting ballast is the same, but no hole cutout for non-HID.
Correct me if I am wrong. The projector where the bulb mount is also different. The HID had a multiple finger type spring to hold the bulb

no, yours are halogens. both HID and halogen housings have a space for the ballast
but HID housings have a hole to run the wires for the ignitor. Also you wouldn't be able to fit your H7 bulbs into the D2S bulb holder

the HID housings have a bulb holder in the back that has lots of little metal fingers
that hold the capsule (bulb) in.
The regular H7 type have a latch that looks the same or very simmilar to the high beam.
