If you need a hella ballast, I've got 2 from my truck (w/ igniters) i just yanked....both in fine working order. Just cover shipping and they're yours.

The morimoto 3five 35 watt ballasts from the retrofitsource.com are Top notch units as well.

Do you still have these ballasts???? I will pay shipping plus some if you can tell me that they still work and have no issues with them.

Thanks,
Andrew

I can vouch for X5SND his stuff is what it says it is, he only removed them because the facelift "ignitor on bulb" setup with the ballast wouldn't work when he did the retrofit of the EvoX-R projectors.

Also in case the OP is still looking for replacement ballasts, the pre-facelifts use Hella Gen 3 ballasts, whereas the facelifts are Hella Gen IV with ignitor on back of bulb, I know the ballasts may physically work but don't know if anyone has done it since the equipment is different.
