Yes it is the same headlights for both,
manufacturer part number is 20-3388-00 for left or 20-3387-00 for right.

Are they the ebay lights?

Most likely you'll have projection problems because they suck at projecting.

Those are the ones I'm talking about, see how smooth they are?

The lines and ridges in your current headlights help with the projection of the beam, those really aren't going to give you a good light output, but they do look good.

Plus, putting a HID kit inside something that's not a projector is illegal

it must vary from State to State because in New Orleans almost everyone has H.I.Ds
