Default Taken the JDM HID plunge....

I've recently purchased a '02 JDM STI Wagon. Love the car but hated the Morette lights which were going faulty (LED failure) and actually had rust on the internal reflectors!!

So, I just bought some JDM HID/Xenon Hedlights of ebay. They are coming with the wires but NO BALLASTS.

I see that I have quite a few 'spare' connectors in the light area of the car now and I wonder if I have the correct loom? I do have the headlight leveling switch so I guess that my car should of had the HID's and were swapped out and flogged at some point in it's past.

So, my questions are:
  • Do I need to source the original Ballasts or can I use the retro fit ones I've seen on the internet??
  • Are all ballasts the same (seen 50w and 35w sold online)??
  • Though I have seen some sites showing some pictures of these lights does anyone know where I can find a clear wiring diagram/connector photo's
  • Once fitted and (cross fingers) working is there a way of leveling up the new lights without going to the garage?
Hope you can help guys. If anyone has ballasts for sale I would be interested.

Thanks
