Yes, but you didnt give any descriptions.. All you said was take the base and stick it somehow onto the hid bulb.
It'll be funny if he tried to use the "base" and jam it to the D2R end of the bulb....
it dont fit.

Item on left was from a 9006 bulb. It was dremeled off the bulb just to get the ring.
Here's what it looks like when put together.
