Default Dumb headlight question

Ok so I want to get new headlight bulbs either the 6000k or 8000k ones. Dont know much about this stuff but i know i already have HID headlights. Do i need anything more than just the bulbs this is what i was looking at, http://www.vvme.com/product/detail-20026.html

you will also need ballasts for the bulbs to ignite

you have projectors right? you should since you have a post facelift year... either way you should be able to adjust them with them couple of screws that are on the top of the headlight fixture... it explains how to do it in your car manual.
