umm not sure where to post this..but is there a cheaper alternative when it comes to replacing a burnt out ballast for my HIDs? I dont want to cut and splice wires..just strait plug and play. thxs guys.

 

Probably going to have to get a used one if it needs to meet your requirements. TSX ballasts are the same as AP2 ballasts but are probably going to cost the same.

 

yeah... i was just trying to avoid paying 200 bucks for one...thx for replying though.

 

damn that sucks how do these things go out? your car is fairly new 05 rite? damn s2k ballast ain't cheap and that's just one crazy

 

yeah man..its an 05..i have no freaken clue how it went out..i actually dont know if its the ballast..i replaced the bulb the other day hoping it was just that..but no luck..so im assuming its the ballast. lol. called the dealer for a replacement one..they pretty much said..give me ur first child + ur kidneys !!!-___-

 

Do you flash your headlights alot? thats really bad for HIDs. You have no guys in your area that sell generic HID kits? Search Craigslist. I have them in every vehicle I own that didnt come with HIDs like the S2000. My sentra has 55watt HID (35watt is normal) dammmm their bright. 40% brighter then 35watt. theve been in for about 2 years now, I drive the car 45,000 miles a year with the headlights always on for visibility purposes. and they are holding up great, even after I was backd into by a Jeep cheorkee. The lens of the headlight cracked and I drove with the bulb exposed to the environment for days lol. And my bike has one also. And its on and off constantly (stuntbike lots of parking lot riding) they usually run from $60 to $80

 

It's time for an upgrade.

You have a nice car (I havent seen it, but it is a S2000.) Dont be cheap and ghetto rig some generic ballast into your car. This is how S2000 get turned into "Civics". If you can't afford new oem, buy used. If you cut into the wiring, you are just asking for problems down the road and you will be posting threads asking "Why do my lights go out and then come back on by themselves?" Here : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/S2000-balla...=item41526fad05 This one is only $55 and took me like 30 secs. to find.

 

thanks bro

 

They sell "generic" HID kits that replace stock ones. No wire cutting evolved. Just like all other plug and play HID systems it uses the stock wiring. And Ive had 55w HID in my sentra for years now and have never gotten pulled over for them. Consider it an upgrade. I will buy 55w ballast and bulbs from my HID guy around here on Long Island as soon as one of my stock ones blows out and Im sure Ill be happy with it. If you want PM me and ill give you his number and maybe he can ship you a set. They are APEXCONE HIDs. He has both regular size and slim ballast.
