Default headlights?
I bought some 100w high and low beams on ebay and wondering if it will be safe to use without a "balast"?? Link below

These are halogen bulbs, so they don't need ballast. Ballast would be for HID's

Those are probably just fancy painted bulbs, which would actually decrease the light output.
