Default Mixing Different Brands Bulbs and Ballast

Not sure if this has been answered before but can you mix and match HID Bulbs and Ballast. For example can I use a DDM Ballast with a lets say VOLT bulbs?

LOL, it's fine to mix them up. I've always mixed up my ballasts and bulbs with different brands. Right now, I got a Volt kit I'm selling and depending on what gets sold, I'll end up with new bulbs from somewhere else with the Volt ballasts.

haha yeah my brother just bought a beater and it came with either a 8000k or 10000k HIDs which is way too blue. I think the previous owner bought an xentec brand HID kit so we were just going to keep the same ballast and just get new 6000k Bulbs from DDM tuning
