Default yup.. the housing is the thing your headlight bulbs are in..

Cool.. that link I posted has all the info you need. Altho, there have been people that say. It's better to use a xenon housing, but others say a projector housing work just as well. I can't compare the two. Since I've always had the xenons, and upgraded to the euro xenon housings. Drop me a line if you got questions...
