Default Anyone want to help me install a ballast?

If anyone wants to help me install a ballast on my s2000, I will pay them $100. I refuse to go back to Fairfax Honda! Let me know! I know $100 isn't much, but I'm in college, and poor

Help - I'm pretty mechanically inclined and do all my own maintenance, but I'd like someone who knows what they are doing with the headlights to help.

Sweet! I'm going up to ISP on sunday and Dom and I are going to take a look at it, hopefully we can get it to work. Any extra/experienced eyes would be appreciated. Kinda sucks because people are coming to possibly buy my car this week/weekend and one headlight doesn't work Plus my inspection is past due

If you want to come out, that'd be awesome! Not sure how far you are from ISP, but yeah that'd be great. I have never taken apart S2k headlights, and I think it will probably be daunting looking at the expensive pieces without a helms manual (I sold mine in anticipation of selling the car).

Well, I am crossing my fingers hoping it's the ballast. The dealership put the new bulb in, and it didn't work. They said the igniter is messed up, but from everything I have read, that comes with the ballast. If the ballast isn't my issue, I'll have one for sale! lol
