    as long as you didnt cut the harness is should be fine.
    just unplug the ballast and pug it in the bulb

    Kind of imposible to answer that question, because we don't know how exactly you installed your HIDs. If you didn't cut the wiring sent with the projectors you should be able to buy a H1 bulb put it in and plug in the spade conectors. Although if they are anything like mine, without HIDs they are gunna suck bad!

    Alright thanks guys. I figured it out, and after i got the halogen bulb to work I was messing around with the HID bulb and it was still good. I unplugged the ballast and it looks like it is starting to rust, had a big storm recently and water must have gotten in. I cleaned off the connector pins and they work just fine now. Just my luck I get pulled over on a 4 min drive from my work to my house last night.
