Fog light help...pretty please

Ok 1st owner put in 3000k hid xentec fog kit. worked great until today. until i see prices on parts I will have to make the decision on fixing this kit or replacing all together. Christmas has my budget in a stranglehold at the moment.
now for the questions.

He did not use a relay can some one point me to the correct ones? (all the links i found were dead ebay links in old post)

Where is the best place to get parts such as bulbs and ballast?

What is the recommended hid kit?

I seen some one reference a lexus oem kit salvage yard item?

anyway all suggestions welcome thanks

LOL ok lets narrow it down some what size bulb would be direct replacement? i know the socket is 9006 color is 3000k I do not know what else to look for to replace the xentec 3000k 35watt.

I may be confused on what gets replaced.. the bulb has the 2 wires with sockets connected to them. so is it just the bulb or does it come with the bulb already connected with the 2 sockets. i can post pics if that makes no sense
here is an image of the bulb

H11 ?

You will definitely need a relay.
The relay will supply constant 12v to the ballasts.

check out this link

scroll mid-page and you'll see the diagram.

Thanks for the replies. I figured out they must be pretty crappy once i realized the bulb cost 1/2 of the entire kit.

I looked at the ddm slim kit. would i need the the error eliminator? I assume the harness and adapter cable they offer would be needed.
