I just got my Morimoto ballast kit from The Retrofit Source based on all the positive comments on this board.

I was inclined to go with the cheaper product at first, but don't really want to take the car apart again if something fails.

I need suggestions for the following:

1. How to thread the connector. Looks like I am going to cut open the back of the light ... where and how?

2. Where do I mount the ballast?

 

^^^ My car is a 2002 TL.

 

Post pictures of what exactly you bought. All the connectors and what not.

 

Thanks ... I figured it out. I'm going to use a 1 1/2 inch hole saw to drill a new hole just to the side of the low beam. That should do the trick.

Second question:

Should I sell my old ballasts on eBay? One works and the other one doesn't. I was thinking about putting the ballasts and igniters up separately to see what happens.

 

^you could, but you wont get much for them. as you found out there are cheaper better options from theretrofitsource

 

You never know. Not everybody goes through the trouble of researching these things. If I get $50 for them I'll be happy and for a buyer it's still cheaper than the junkyard.

 

Make sure you seal what ever hole you make very well.
