Headlight Question

Hey guys,

So I noticed one of my low beam headlights wasn't turning on anymore, so I finally took the time to open it up and look into it. It seems that the part you attach the HID bulb to seem to short circuit and burned a little. Ran a little test, turning the low beams on and off and it seems to spark a little bit so to be safe i don't run the low beams..

I was wondering what options I have here;
I could either find a new HID ballast control unit or buy a new headlight (but with this option, I'd have to find one with a ballast the functions, right?)




I thought about upgrading to a new unit with AE, such as 1998 2003 BMW x5 E53 Black Halo Angel Eyes Projector Headlight Signal Lamps Set | eBay
or Dual Halo Projector Headlights Black BMW E53 x5 01 03 | eBay

but what i've seen is that some of these headlight require me to use my original ballast control unit or say that These Headlights ARE NOT Compatible with Factory Xenon H.I.D. System.. which i'm sure I do have ..

Any tips would be great,

Thanks!
