Default Ecode help needed

I have done a little research but need an answer quicker that I had anticipated. How much is it going to cost going from my two piece halogen headlights to an ecode HID kit? The ecodes sold on AWE, achtuning, etc. are just for the housings correct? I would need to still get the ballasts, bulbs, and wiring? Sorry for my ignorance on the subject for I do not know much about it.

Default yes, if you want to do it the right way get the xenon E code housings and get the ballasts/bulbs etc

of you can get the halogen ones and get an HID upgrade kit with HID bulbs that have an H7 base to them sothey sit properly in the housing. Putting HIDs in a halogen housing screws yields a strange focus from the prjector that isnt quite right.
