The housing alone will not work, you will have to purchase the whole assembly and the reason being is that the zenki model ballast and HID bulbs do not work with the kouki housing. If you only purchase the kouki housing, the bulbs and the rest of the hardware thats left on your zenki will not work. Ive researched this and all the part numbers are different.

Ballats are universal, they 03-05 ballasts would work with the 06 lights. Also the 03-05 d2r bulbs WILL work on the 06 lights you just have to file a slot in the base for fitment and scratch off the covering on the bulbs it self (it is there to stop glare in reflector based headlights but your going to full projection.)
I have been wanting the 06 lights with out ballasts and bulbs for some time but no luck. =( I would like to open them up and swap in a clear lense also for the more aggressive flicker and color at the cut off.
EDIT: if you dont want to scratch off the small patches on the d2r bulbs you can just leave them but you will be putting out around 2900 lumens (sp) instead of 3200.
