you can use it but the bulb won't fit into the socket because Oem Hid bulbs use a D2S or a D2R size
your delsol uses a h4 bulb.
you will have to modify the base of the bulb to make it fit
even if you make it fit..the light pattern wont' be the same because you have to have the perfect focal point.
you should just get a custom molded base hid bulb.

take the base off of a regular H4 bulb.. (there should be 3 clips that attach the base to the rest of the bulb, you should be able to see them). After that just figure some way of attaching it to the base of the bulb. Or you can get the Adapters which is pretty much the same thing with a shield so you don't blind the **** out of other drivers.

i can get a pair of ballast for under $100 from local junk yard. if i get 6000K Rebased Philips Bulb from xenondepot.com, will they have the perfect focal point?

and do i need anything else other than ballast and bulb? I assume the rebased bulbs from xenondepot come with H4 shields. correct me if i am wrong.
