my guess is that it would just be plug and play as they came stock as HID's, so the ballast (or equivalent) would be inbuilt somewhere, and would just need the positive and negative.

Gen2 JDM projectors use H1 & H3 (or H5 or something?) bulbs, while AUDM glass lights use H4, so the wiring is completely different.my guess is that it would just be plug and play as they came stock as HID's, so the ballast (or equivalent) would be inbuilt somewhere, and would just need the positive and negative.
Not relative to gen3, but an example that just because something sounds logical, doesn't mean it's the case.
I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.
