Default Halogen to Xenon

I bought 2 xenon headlights from a 2000 TT. They dont have the silver box attached to them. Can i mount them on my non xenon car and will they work or do i need a ballast? If so can i use the silver box from the newer after 2001 xenon headlights?

In my BMW I used the same wiring to plug into the ballast and it was fine.

Default You need a simple conversion kit sold here.....ALSO

You should also use your non-HID projectors. They are the same as the euro-projectors (brighter). If you look close, they should'nt have the ridge rings on the lens. These ridge like rings are on USA HID cars and cut down light output. The Euro projectors have a smooth non-ring lens just like the lenses on the halogen equiped projectors.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vagparts.com/pages/HID_install.htm">http://www.vagparts.com/pages/HID_install.htm</a</li></ul>
