If your already HID, the only bulb that will work is the D2C. But you can get 8000k, 10000k, 12000k, etc.

Nope. You'll have to remove the front bumper to get to the headlights though. Theres a DIY around here somewhere for that and im pretty sure there is one for the HID's too.

Why would you screw with the factory ballasts?

You get to the HID bulbs and ballasts by taking the clips from in front of the wheels, the black plastic just bends aside for access.

Nope, a ballast is a ballast, so long as it fits the bulbs.

There are some screwy aftermarket systems out there, so stick with the same type as original - D2S
