HID upgrade on non HID '05 headlights?
HID upgrade on non HID '05 headlights?
i have the ballasts, i purchased them from a fellow evo owner, but i was wondering if i could wire it up to my stock housing and just get bulbs or do i need to purchase the HID housing?
Buy some rebased (to 9006) HID bulbs. You'll also need some wiring. A typical fog light install kit would work (can be bought at Pep Boys, etc), or you can buy a wiring kit specifically for HID upgrades that some vendors sell. That should be all you need.
Separate igniters are only used on some brand of HID kits. I would imagine the other mfgr's use a self contained one (within the ballast housing).

Or,
There should be wires and connectors coming out of the ballast. if one of the connectors is round and set up to go on the back of a D2S/D2R bulb then all you'll probably need are the bulbs and you're off to the races. If you are unsure, take some pictures of the wires and the connectors and post it up on here.
Good luck!
