Default A quick question about HID bulbs

So I bought a HID set but I want to change the bulb. Are all the bulbs made to fit all ballast or are they differ? (My kits are most likely the Asia made ones)

more than likely the ballasts will fit other bulbs. what kind of kit did you get?

If you need some new bulbs, click the link in my sig to pick up a new set of bulbs for $60 shipped.

Don't really know. Those kits have bulbs connected to wires, not bulbs alone.

All bulbs are not made to fit all ballasts. For aftermarket kits, there are 2 types of connectors. Most kits that I've seen use AMP connectors...most likely yours are too if the kit came from Asia.
