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!

When replacing original HID set-up with aftermarket kits, most times simply splicing electrical wire connectors is all that ya need to do up front.

Ryan5003, the one Ballast that you found you had, is it a 2003 TL Ballast ? If so do you still have it ? i am in search of a ballast for one of my headlights. ...

got to be April fools day when I see members still using oe ballast!
when for 59 USD you can get 2 new ballast- which are waterproof micro sized and way better by 10+ years of technology
and it comes with 2 new bulbs and the wiring between the two
www.hidextra.com used by many ziners
Yes you have to cut a few connectors off and install new inline style connection or splice
that's the price of modernizing
