    I received my brand new G's headlights today from buyee Japan but when I opened up the box to check the headlights I relied that there's no HID modules and no socket covers of both headlight as shown in the photos.
    Seller did not describe that there are no HID modules and socket covers at all.
    Do I have to buy HID modules to make it work?
    Can I use my OEM headlight socket covers?
    If I have to buy all above then where should I buy them? I was looking on buyee but nothing is showing up at all.

    Thanks for your help.

    Modules? You mean ballasts? Yep, you're going to need ballasts.

    The big square hole is where your pet ballast goes. They sell the cover separately and the ballast mounts to the cover.

    Whoa, that sucks! Mine came completely plug-n-play ready.
    You should talk to @sfv41901 -- he knows all about sourcing the parts to build these.

    My vendor was kachouo_n. They even threw in the adapter to fit the USDM wiring harness.

    The whole works, including shipping, set me back around $1,200.

    @sfv41901 might know where to source parts stateside you need.

    I got mine used. I got lucky it came with everything. I keep a close eye on photos and tend to stay away from auctions with not enough information in description.
