I dont have Stock HID and I did not get a loaded version. If you're handy getting an aftermarket HID kit to work on these lights is cake.

yeah because you are a handy man, you could retrofit your lights, but for some people like me, need something as simple as possible, like geoxue, I think he has aftermarket HID kit, that kits could not reuse on the new headlights

He would need the item bellow to run his aftermarket ballast and then D2S bulbs. A lot cheaper then buying "The loaded" kit. Also you can find the item bellow a lot cheaper on ebay.

Correct, but you'll also disable your Autoleveling feature by doing that.

If u dont have afs then u dont have to worry bout a light blinking and so forth whereas hid cars have to pull fuse or pull instrument cluster to hid blinking light. Lucky you. When u buy the loaded set ull get everything to install them and the relay to fix the blinker ordeal. Then just trim your bracket. Correct me if im wrong guys.

that right, but the thing is how is he going to cover the OEM ballasts spot?, he could buy used bulbs and ballasts for cheap, and it still OEM and down the road is may not moisture in the lights

I'm running Infinity Ballast on mine, if you go to my retrofit thread you'll see a picture of how I closed that hole up.

I would do it myself but Photobucket is blocked at my job
