    ....?

    meaning an oem ballast/bulbs (from something like an rx330/tsx/tl etc)

    as opposed to a plug and play kit from ebay?

    what do you mean by xenon or plug and play, lol?

    i.e. "xenon plug and play HID kit" = <---didn't know there was a difference.

    from my experience a true retrofit with clear lens will top ANY, and i mean ANY hid KIT out there.

    if you dont want to do that you can source yourself a OEM ballast and a set of D2S/D2R bulbs and use casper sheilds. with this combo it is still BETTER than a cheap hid kit.

    and if you dont want to do that then just buy a simple kit from ebay or something, nitro has good ones... but be ready for the glare

    To answer the confusing question. Xenon is the gas within the HID bulbs, the bulbs utilizes xenon gas rather than relying on a filament. Plug and play is a type of fitment. All HID "kits" should be plug-and-play.
