Could a Halogen bulb be connected to HID Ballasts? - GMC
I have HID's installed on my GMC Denali, and I need to plug in the stock halogen bulbs for an hour. Does anyone know if I can just plug the bulbs in, or do I have to re-do the wiring and remove the ballasts? My car is due for its registration renewal, and it failed the inspection for having aftermarket xenon and the tints were too dark. I have no choice but to remove the tints (I will have it done again right after), but I don't want to go through the hassle of removing the HID's. Thanks for your help. I know this is a BMW forum, but most people on here have other cars as well, so someone should be bale to help.

Lets see... 12 volts to halogen vs 3,000 volts to HID... I'd give that a BIG no...

You will be removing the ballasts and putting the stock system back in so you can use halogen and pass inspection..The two systems are not compatible what so ever, on this car, or any other car anywhere..Good luck

I was hoping I would be able to just swap the bulbs for an hour for the inspection, but I guess not. This is going to be one expensive inspection...
