Anyone with a bad OEM headlight ballast laying around?

I'm looking for one or two of the connectors that are attached to the OEM ballasts for doing my aftermarket change out. I want to do all the work up front so its easy when I do it. Let me know if someone has a bad ballast they are willing to sell or cut the connectors off and sell. PM me. thanks!

He's using aftermarket ballasts. You need to cut off the oem connector and put it on the aftermarket wiring so it'll hook up properly.

I could just cut off the old connectors from my ballasts which still mostly work, but once I cut them off and if I screw something up, then well I'm screwed lol. I figured if I get the connectors from a set of bad ballasts I can solder on the 9006 connectors which go to the new aftermarket ballasts which means all plug and play! Just me over engineering the solution...
