i believe the only difference in the different kits from the same company is the bulbs and the ballast size (35watt and 55watt). the wire should be replacable but im not 100% clear on the question

Ummmm my kit has bulbs that have 2 wires coming out of the ... The Hella 57000 has only one female connection ... I need a wire that goes from the ballest to the new bulb?..... Does that make any sense?

The Hella 57000 is a 60mm projector that uses a 9005 bulb. This is the same projector in the BLS kit.

If you currently have an aftermarket HID kit, all you need is new bulbs. Almost all currently sold aftermarket HID kits use the same 2-connector setup and the bulbs are interchangeable.

OEM HID ballasts are different and use a single larger connector.

Some older HID kits used different connectors.
