Balast for HID headlights....which are decent to use.....? I'm using 35W....6000K Philips HID bulbs. Low beam lights only.
One balast just died and shops around here are charging $65.00 for a new balast. Amazon has a bunch for $9.99 and upwards.....
Which one is pretty good...but not top of the line?

I only have them in my fogs but they are Xentec.
I don't know how long yours lasted but a tip if you don't already know it is to make sure the ballast is secure (not just hanging there bouncing around).
I have had my cheap Xentec's siliconed back underneath my hood latch and they have lasted about 5 years now.

Do it right , spend a bit more and will be happier with results.
morimoto brand through company Called retrofit source.
Have them on two of my cars. Bulbs have 1 year warranty , ballasts 5 years. I recently had them replace a ballast after one year and was done within 15 minutes and had it in 2 days.

I looked around for them........do you know which part number/kit model I should buy that will wire up to my 2-wire OEM headlight power source...
I don't see anything except one wire power connections...

+1 on going LED now. I have had DDM HID's in my car, wife's Jeep and kids cars for maybe 10 years now with zero issues. However Recently I did LED on my motorcycle and my Canyon. They work great and are easier to install IMO
