Probably not!
Both of those kine need ballasts.

Vapor arc lights are in the "negative resistance" family.
They must have an outside means of limiting the current.
The "Yard lights" at Lowe's will come with a ballast, but usually have flying leads.
So, at the least, you would need wire nuts and a clue, yah?
