Not sure if the plug is the same or not. Have never seen anyone try.

I'm not sure with just looking at the unit. but if you can find the schematics or wiring diagram it would help. Good luck!

Make sure and put a fuse on your test wire because if you are wrong with the wire color you could burn out the bulb, ballast or both.

unplug yours if you have HID and just plug'em in. I have used several plugs off of Coupes and sedans on the vice versa. It will work.

I would not mess around with splicing wires on ballasts, too much voltage to be "testing" with IMO.
