Low beam headlight change

Pic 1 the bulb, as per specs
Pic 2 the manual
Pic 3 the thingie


Question:

What the hell is that, where do I put the bulb and what do I do next?

Do I have the wrong bulb? Do I have HID ?

The new bulb you have shown in the first picture is halogen H7 bulb. The last picture (thingie)is the ballast for your HID bulb. Yes you have HID's
