    Is it possible/worth it to keep these housings and upgrade from halogen to HID?

    What brand housings are those? Sadly probably not, as mentioned above.

    The projectors those companies use in aftermarket headlights are complete junk. I'd be willing to be that they're sealed with butyl and you can get a nice set of actual HID projectors to retrofit in them easily. At that point, you'd have a legit set of headlights.

    I do suggest you change halogens to LEDs directly. HID bulbs come with a big ballast, which requires to do a modification. There are many different LED bulbs available on Amazon, eBay..., just plug and play, very easy to change the oem halogens
