Sorry to revive this, but when you are looking for a set of xenons to buy, I have seen some advertised 'without' power packs? Not knowing a lot about how these work, are these built into the headlight or are they an ancilliary part?

Thanks

I think that's referring to the ballast.

Now at the risk of sounding like a proper div, what is the ballast?

So for me £440 in total for the conversion
The headlight you bought, was it oem and came with oem blubs and blast or an aftermarket ?
