HID bulb replacement

So I was wondering if I needed to replace anything else other then the bulb? does the ignition cable need to be replaced as well if i'm going from stock HID bulbs to an aftermarket? and any thoughts on HID bulbs bought on ebay? for the price its a done deal but what about the quality?

i think my INVERTER UNIT died! my new 5 day old drivers side 5000k Kaixen bulb burned out, so i thought, until i swapped the bulbs to the passengers side and found out that both work.

i checked on acura oem parts .com and i see that a new inverter unit is 381 bucks!

is that the only way to go, or can i hook up after market inverters




its either #7 that died or #10 that died for me today. #7 alone is only 180 bucks.

what should i do now? besided taking the bumper off and removing the headlight units.

thanks
