Wouldn't that be a downgrade?

If you want new headlights go from HID to HID. Not backwards.

You could buy a aftermarket HID bulbs that fit whatever size halogen housing the base Z's use. H7? Then you could buy some D2S to aftermarket HID kit plug adapters. This would allow you to use your OEM ballasts, assuming you still have them. If you don't you could just buy a standard HID 'kit', but that would also still be a big downgrade.

I would return the halogen headlamps you bought and get proper HID headlamps. They will cost more but it is worth it to keep the OEM setup.
