? about HID ballasts

I have a question, i have 2 different sets of hid kits one is eurolite (cheap) and the other is mccullock (expensive) but in each of the kits one ballast is messed up, so if i use a ballast from each but the same bulbs will the color be different? I guess what i want to know is does the bulbs or ballasts control whether the color is 6000 or 8000?

You can use different ballasts and get the same color light, as long as the bulbs are the same K.
