"new" halo projector hid install

Now I know there is a thread about installing to the older halo projectore lights....

BUT....I have the newer Halo projector lights which are Plug n Play. (They come with a ballast and a harness to plug right into the socket the factory headlights plugged into). Thats all I had to do to install them.

Now, the problem. I ordered an HID KIT from ebay and now i dont know how the hell to install it. Does this mean I would have 2 ballast for each headlight???

I got as far as replacing the new HID bulb with the projector one but again my setup is different than the other post set up. The ground wire and power wire runs directly to the ballast that came with the projector light unit and again this ballast goes straight to the harness that plugs into my cars factory light harness.

I dont think I can just splice the wires to the new HID light and use the same ballast...can I? Help please!

there should be one ballast, are you completely changing the whole ballast and hid itself?

1 ballast/box came with my projector headlights originally. I recently ordered a HID kit which came with the HID light and a ballast.

I am just trying to swap the projector light with the HID light.
