Can you pull out one of your headlight bulbs and post a picture? Then we can tell. Or if you e ever replaced a headlight bulb and it was less than $20 then you have halogens.

it’s halogen bulb. if i get this assembly does it just plug and play

It should plug and play if its for your model. Be forewarned that the light output of aftermarket headlight housings is usually trash. Not always, but often, esp for ebay/Amazon purchased housings.
There are better options to upgrade your lighting but it will require opening up your headlight housing, risking ruining the only housing you currently have.
If you do buy this aftermarket set, Id strongly suggest you test your skill at doing a retrofit.

^^^^yep, that. Don’t do anything destructive in the install process, and hang on to your factory headlights just in case you want or need to swap them back in.

i’ll find other sets as options too

Supercharged
If you do an intake you can hear it
I just love the platform and it's reliable as hell

$100 for 30ish hp

Yes but you gotta do a little custom work for one
Not much but you need to make an adapter for the throttle body
I did it with a $8 PVC cap
