All HID bulbs have the same base, but kit conversions have rebased bulbs to make them compatible with 9006, etc socket types.

Ballast and igniters for each kit only made with in limits to maintain current and igniting voltage for 1 lamp each. That is the manufacturers designed use. Though personally i havent tried that, I dont think it's worth the risk of burning up your ballasts and igniters. Those suckers will run you about $150 a piece to replace.
