Hello there I have an 05 aveo I had the stock headlights h4 bulb then I switched over to halo projectors H1 bulb I had the hid kit for the stock lights my question is can I use the ballast that I already have and just buy new bulbs for my new set up or would I have too buy a complete new hid kit also my previous hid kit was low beam not bi xenon
It would take some work. I believe you'd have to modify the hole for the bulb as well as the holding bracket for it to fit. It would be easier to just buy a new set of hids.
I don't want to put the bulb in the new projectors I wanna buy the right size bulb too fit in them I just wanna use the existing ballast would tat be ok?

The projector holes need to be modified to fit the HID bulbs as they are slightly larger than standard H1 bulbs, take a rotary tool like a dremel and just enlarge the opening of the hole in the projectors.
My suggestion is to buy new HID kit it will enhance your car look and as far as my concern HID's come in different Kelvin ratings that determine the colour of light output of the bulb. Ranging from 3000k (Yellow) to 4500-6000k (White) to 8000-12000k (Blue to Purple) and then exotic colours like red, green, pink, purple, dark blue. Most of all HID's, including the 12000k bulbs have a much higher Lumen output then halogen bulbs do. But the short and quick is that they are extremely bright headlights that can be put on just about any car out there and most of the time result in a blinding bright white light.
i just saw this thread after creating a new one https://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f84/...hts-kit-23474/
i got a set from xenonpro for my 2011, really really happy with them but installation was a b*tch
