I believe each ballast is rated for the particular capsule application. Meaning you can't interchange capsules of different color temps.

you can change as long as the base is the same.

Nope, ballast does nothing but ignite and sustain the arc in the bulb. Of course you can change bulbs as long as the base is the same. You can put 6000K and even higher ricer HID bulbs in cars that came w/ OEM HID.
