Ok and make sure they are what he stated HID, which should mean ballasts for the HID's should come with. If not they are just the projector light setup with most likely an h1 bulb in the projector.

Just because they are projector doenst mean they are HID. HID's require a specific bulb and require ballasts to operate

----------

Your best bet is to find out from him (find out how he had it setup)or some members on here who have the same setup with HID.

All you do is plug the ballast into the stock wiring connector and the other end of the ballast plugs into the HID bulb.
