how to go from aftermarket HID to original Xenon?

i think today the aftermarket HID fog lights blew a fuse as both lights went out on dash board at same time...how do i go from these aftermarket HIDs to the original Xenon lights?

these aftermarket HIDs were weird they would auto turn on as soon as i turned on the vehicle even if the light switch was "off"

Sounds like someone wired them to a constant source when the vehicle is on. If that is the case, I would venture to guess the original plugs might still be behind the bumper. That also might explain why the the display lights are on. But wouldn't make sense if the display only came on when they blew the fuse. You will just have to get in there and see what is going on. Without seeing or reading a description of what you found, there is not much anyone could tell you definitively.

MB does not put Xenon in the fogs. If you are trying to go back to stock, it would be halogen.
