I do not believe they will work since the base models did not come with HID's. I maybe wrong, however I am 99.9% sure I am right.

with base i doubt they will work because the ball in side might have issues because the beam is being "shot" thru versus with the base having a standard bulb

but thats just my 2 cents

Take your headlight off. If you have a plug with 8 connectors, it should plug straight in. If you have 6 connectors, PM me and I can build you a harness.

It will work on a Base, you just need to hard wire everything.
