Yes, but you are missing half of the equation. For the HID bulb to ignite, you must first "charge up" the ballast. The factory wiring is not designed to address the needs of charging a HID ballast (since these cars were never offered with HID lamps) and
in some instances not be able to fully charge the ballast for igniting the HID bulb. I personally had this problem with my HID kit - I would experience bulb flickering, or sometimes only 1 bulb would light.
I'm just informing people what issues they
might run into when installing a HID kit.
Maybe I'm just overdoing it, but I don't trust the factory harness to support the 20,000+ volts needed to fire the ignitor.
