Yes, that is sorta correct. All you have to do is to unplug and remove your current halogen bulbs, plug that wire into the new HID ballast, and lastly install the new HID bulb in the headlight reflector, and connect it to the ballast.

The biggest issue is securely mounting the ballast in your car, and getting the new HID bulb to seat properly. The tolerances of the new bulb are very tight. Scroll down to the first entry of this thread to re-read my install story.

Also keep Striker's email address handy so in 3 years you can write him to tell him how much you still like your HID bulbs!
