no mine dont have them either, when u order hid's u can order bi-xenon bulbs to go with it for like 100 bucks more, but trust me u will never use high beams w/hid's

could you take pics of how you mounted the ballasts? I'm wanting to do this to my 07 as well, I'm mostly worried about those fog lights
