Hi sorry i couldnt find my answer on here so i though maybe i can post it....I have a 2006 alty 2.5s and the lights are original....i wanted to upgrade to HID...i hear xentec or xenon is good, but what im confused about is the ballast and just bulbs...on ebay their selling H1 bulbs by them selves...sorry if im HID illetrate..but do i need Ballast's or just buying the H1 lights and changing it with the original is okay...also whats legal in NYC...i saw lot of users here have the Ballast correct me if im wrong.

^I got the slim ones. You can get the bigger ballasts, it doesn't really matter. The slim ones are just more convenient and easier to find spots to mount them. Our car's bulb size is H11.
