If My Ballast Is Out Can I Buy A After Marker Hid Kit And Replace It? Or Do I Have To Get A Oem Ballast? Thanks! Hoping For Some Responses

 

you may be able to put in an aftermarket HID but there probably would be fitament problems with the ballast and the connections may not be the same. It would be ALOT more work then to just R+R an OEM ballast.

 

So You Think It Wont Work?

 

buy oem..

less of a hassle


go to a junkyard and just snag one...

 

I Already bought and hid kit can i still work with that?

 

don't think so..

how are you going to possibly connect the ballasts to oem wires??

only thing i can see is cutting and splicing and what nots.... just more work..

gotta figure out which is positive.. negative.. etc etc etc....

 

So Can I Buy Some Kaxien Bulbs And An Oem Ballast? Would They Fit? I Guess I Need To Ship Back A Hid Kit

 

yes.. buy the kaixen hid replacement bulbs.. and then go find an OEM ballast..

 

Alright Thanks! Jjashaa!

Connecting the wires isn't hard... neither is figuring out which is positive. You aren't rewiring the car. For the $ saved, go for it.
