Need New Ballast: Please Help

I had stock non-hid bulbs and I bought hid headlights with ballast off of someone on this forum.

The ballast was from an audi I believe but now it has stopped working.

I need a new ballast and I have no idea which one to get. I cant get a BMW oem one because that requires slicing a wire.. I do not want to do that.

Can someone recommend me a kit that will work? Thank You.

Yes they are d2s. What I did was order one from an Audi and I also got some 9500/9600 cable to go for it. Hopefully that'll work. The ballast I got doesnt look like those it's all one piece.. But the new one I ordered looks exactly like that
