No, because you didn't buy HID's.

I thought we all suggested to take them back.

You need the converter. I would suggest going to your local auto parts store and ask for a converter for your car. The converters are used to convert your headlight fluid into Xenon gas which is what creates the HID effect. :chuckles:

ummm ...

the Xenon kit you purchased should have come with 2 major pieces.

- the ballast (silver box the width of 2 credit cards)
- the bulbs

connect your existing 9006 socket to the ballast
connect the new ballast headlight wire to the HID bulbs

done deal
