the harness is different. I know 0212353(retro shop) has been looking at this for compatibility i believe up and down in years, but he can confirm later when he sees this

The 11 and 13 quads are interchangable with no extra adapter.

The standard HID harness with capacitor is what you'll need. As for using the OEM ballasts......no clue the connection on that. You'll need the plug for those too.

You have the factory ballast?
Because a lot of OEM hids are DS-2 bulbs with the ballast and bulb all one piece.

DS-2 might work, but will need to get a adapter to work with aftermarket hid ballast

Why would you swap 2013 quads for 2011 quads? They're the same thing

there are subtle differences.

BUT.....hell, he may have a set on his truck that is all pitted, or jacked up and has a line on a great set of 13s? Who knows!
