Default New 2013 OEM HID conversion question

So I ordered "NEW" headlights off of ebay that came with bulbs and ballast, and got them in the other day. I am still waiting on a harness to hook them up, but....

I was looking over these lights (which are in good shape) and noticed that there are no sockets/bulbs in the running light or turn signal housing...
My question before I rip into this project is can I use the bulb and socket from the lights I already have? Or do I have to get a part specific to these headlights?

Do the bulbs and socket just twist out of there? Anything special to move them from one to the other?
