    Does the Mirage need a CANBUS HID ballast?

    Hi,

    I am about to get some HIDs for a projector retrofit. Does anybody know if our car requires a canbus ballast?

    Thanks

    Ah yea.. I read those and did not see if the ballast used was CANBUS or not.

    I haven't tried that. I doubt you'll need an adapter for the headlights on these. They don't give any problems if you have a burnt out bulb unlike the brake light bulbs for some reason. But I can't say for sure.
