Was at home and had a ballast, an old bad hid bulb, and a cheap hid bulb and thought, what if?
Well here's the result. It ain't purdy, but it works!
Well that proved my theory that an hid bulb will work like this, it really doesn't care what kind of voltage it gets, it is the supporting electronics that get pissy.
I remove the old bulb completely, leaving 2 wires sticking out. The shorter one was the + and the other was -. I removed the base from the cheap bulb and using liquid solder and j.b. weld, I got the new bulb on the ignitor. I aligned it before the liquid solder and j.b. weld cured.
