Default HID Kits

aiight i hope u guys understand, ok i notice that u can get a hid kit for like 400, and it come with 2 ballast or whatever they are and the bulbs and whatever else. My question is if i buy the kit can i just use my piaa bulbs and theyll get brighter or would i have to use the bulbs that come with the kit? Basically how does the kit work and is there anything special about the bulbs?

if you use your piaa bulbs theyll blow up, HID= high intensity discharge, they are different bulbs, there not a regular halogen bulb like your car lights and regular bulbs cant handle the heat of hid kits.......

And the higher number normally means lower lumens as well. Which in short makes for less light output.
