Question xenon mods

I was able to find a pair of oem xenon lights with bulbs and ballasts on E-Bay recently. Do I need to re-wire to accomodate this upgrade?

Thanks for your experts input, CL rocks!

the bulbs won't fit in the halogen housing. you will need to get new base to rebase it to fit the halogen housing, depending on what car you have. and you might need to splice wire for the power connector as well

I think I have the complete set with xenon housing, ballasts, and bulbs.

well the connectors don't match, that's the only reason why you need to splice the wire and connect them yourself.
