Default HID Ballast

I would like to know if the ballasts are the same from a 2008 headlight and a 2012 headlight.

I don't see why not. Not too many manufacturers produce OEM HIDs.

Just in case anybody tells you that you can't replace the ballast without taking apart the headlight, that is false. You can remove the ballast without opening the headlight simply by disassembling the large connector and then fishing it through.
