I got mine from Peoria Acura online:

They seem to have gone up. I could have sworn they were under $300.

I checked oemacuraparts but wanted to see if anyone had any other sources cause thats a pretty hefty price tag. I should have been more specific and yes I searched. I was in hopes that someone had a less expensive source... i thought they were under 300 as well can't believe it went up that much.

I got 2 BMW ballasts when my pass side one went out.

Used one of them

had to rig the bulb cover to get the wire to go onto it..

Yes, its rigged but it works great with no problems...

BTW, got the 2 ballasts, 2 bulbs (came with ballasts) and wiring needed for $90 shipped off of ebay.

LIKE I SAID, I HAD TO RIG THE COVER TO ACCEPT THE NEW WIRING AND THE EXTERNAL BALLAST!! ITS NOT PRETTY AND THERE IS A HOLE IN THE COVER. HOWEVER AS MANY WOULD THINK THAT SINCE THERE IS A HOLE, THERE WILL BE CONDENSATION IS WRONG. MY HEADLIGHT NEVER CONDENSED EVEN IN THE RAIN WITH THE HOLE IN THE REAR!! ITS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO PAYING OUT OF THE WORLD PRICES. BUT THATS JUST ME...
