Default AP2 Headlight nightmare

Hi All,



Newbie here looking some advice.

The previous owner did a Macgyver conversion on the car using halogen bulbs instead of xenon bulbs. (Changed the connectors also to ‘two pin’ halogen connectors)

Can anyone advise me what all required to get it back to proper working condition?
I have no ballasts or any of the xenon hardware at the moment

Thanks
Pictures for reference…

So off the top of my head, you'll be needing a ballast(one harness to the bulb and the other harness to the existing harness on the car body), HID bulb(if the retainer was damaged from using the halogen bulb it will need to be replaced as well) and three screws.

If that sounded confusing, having a look at various used ap2 headlights on eBay should clarify it.

Here's an exploded diagram with part numbers, at least for a US car.

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.
I used the exploded diagram to source the missing parts I needed!
