Are all HID ballast the same?

I have a quick question regarding HID ballast. I bought the AlpineMss hid kit (http://www.alpinemss.com/product_p/hidan.htm) over a year ago, which looks amazing compared to other brands, and until recently my ballast finally went out, due to me flashing my car and completely draining the battery in the process. As of now, I get a park light error message every time I start the car. I've checked the fuse for the ballast, which was blown but I replaced it and the fuses on the inside of the car, for the park lights, and the lights still doesn't work. I want to replace the ballast without having to buy the whole kit which is pretty expensive. I've found a different HID kit, which I have installed on my bike and it works great, and it looks the exact same as the Alpine kit, (http://www.ddmtuning.com/Product-Cat...and-Components) the only difference is that there kits are rebadged, which I think all of the kits are. I wanted to know is there any difference in HID ballast? Could I buy the replacement DDM ballast and would it still work the same? If so, what wattage should I use 35w or 55w? I've used 10k in the past, this time I'm thinking of either 3k or 20k ae, which might be overkill but I could easily changed the bulb if needed. Thanks
