In simple terms, it provides the kick start and proper electrical conditions to maintain the HID arc.

thas correct....the ballast just converts your car's DC power to AC power to energize the startup and power the hids.

Also both projectors lens are clear with no "frosting" or fresnels.
actually, the 00-03's are clear lenses, where the 04-07's are fresnel.
you can see this if you look straight down from the top of the lenses.
