Light is not controlled or limited by the HID ballast. The ballast is simply a transformer, converting 12 volts to some 20 kajillion volts or whatever it is required to produce an arc in the HID bulb. It IS limiting voltage, but not trying to limit light intensity as you state.
Halogen bulbs do NOT have ballasts......correct.......but its not because halogen lights need to control the output, its because halogen is designed for 12 volts.
And to further analyze, you could use these PNP HID kits. You would either have to engineer and design a shield to limit the light output to mimic the same light emission of the halogen bulb or you would have to stick the PNP bulbs in a projector, which is NOT sensitive to filament location.

I get it. I thought the ballasts that produce the electrons are the heart of the HID which is what produces and controls this "High intensity Discharge lightning" through the bulbs.
Question though, how can companies make a shield built-in the bulbs to minimize glare on the pnp kits? I know some add shields but i still don't get how its built-in shield allows less glare. I've seen many pnp kits and bought myself a 8000K kit with supposely a shield but all it did was give a glare which is why i threw it out(<<buh bye 200 bucks there)
