Went to check my car, but saw the one visible ballast's label is gone. The other ballast is below the battery. I'd have to remove the inner well to get to. If not busy later today, I'll try to get the model number for that one.

I bought some replacement ballasts from the ebay seller: elconline
he is shipping from Hong Kong, so it does take a while to get, probably about a week and a half to two weeks, but he's priced decent and the ballast looked to be of higher quality than my originals (don't remember what brand they were). I offered him $25 each, his shipping was $15 for the first, $8 for the additional so I had a total of $73.00 and he took my "best offer".

Ron, if you need a ballast to hold you over I still have one working ballast from my originals, just let me know.

I now have different brand ballasts. I'll compare brightness, etc when I get home today.

works, but the temp replacement ballast fully illuminates slower than the Xentec brand. After a few seconds, they both power bulbs evenly. I'll be sending the busted ballast off Monday. Guess it'll be two weeks before I see the replacement.
