Wiring harness difference HID and halogen or LED

Hello
I am looking to change my Mustang's wiring harness for the headlights. It came with the factory HID headlights and when I was looking online for new housings they look to be $1200 each. What is the differences between the wiring harnesses between the two and would I have to replace all the wires in my car in order to get a different headlight?

There you'll find stuff for our cars I changed my headlights. Actually built my own. You won't need to change the wiring just plug in new ballast which powers the bulbs which ever you decide to get.
I have got HIDs and they are bright.

Problem with some HID headlight kits, is that their too bright and end up blinding oncoming motorists, which was the main reason I decided on a LED headlight kit instead.
