MDX Xenons???

I have a friend who owns an Acura MDX. They dont offer xenons on those for some reason. they told her that the xenon housing or whatever doesnt fit in the hood. but anyways, she wants to put some aftermarket stuff in. what is good that u can put in that either simulate the same light or are xenons??? are they a universal fit for all headlights?? let me know guys.. Thanks

Aftermarket Xenons are illegal now tho, or they will be VERY soon.

I actually hbeard that HID's from the aftermarket will be banned cuz of a patent from the original company who made them. just like spinners and davin. It's just that the patent pending has been completed and is taking effect now. Just what i heard.

But most of those taller cars have built in auto levelers that will make sure your headlights aren't blinding others. I think that's why the MDX doesn't have HIDS. Acura didn't put the extra $$ into them.
