HID without Starter?

Hello there,
While i was surfing ebay for some HID systems. I found that there's some HID system comes without a "Starter". The seller says it is the 2nd generation HID system. So I wonder is there any different between the 1st and 2nd generations? :confused:

good one... as far as this good ole boy knows all REAL HID needs a ballest (starter) if its cheap its probably to good to be true and is just some halo with HID gas or tinted halo's.....but im interested in you ???? to and what everyone else thinks

As far as I know, the ballist is an intergal part of the HID system. I am no expert, but sayig it's an HID with no ballist/ingnitor, etc, doesn't sound right. I would be weary of a product that claims to be an HID system without a ballist, I sounds like a hoax. Again, don't qoute me, but thats my adivice. I'd stick with a reputable company that supplies to a lot of OEM's for HID's, a company like CATZ.
