New ballast

Hey guys, I was having fun in the rain the other night & I got water up into the engine compartment & soaked the ballast for my passenger side Bi-Xenon lights, so it's fried & won't work, I went around to a few junk yards today & asked around but no dice, anyone here have a smashed up car or front end that they'd be willing to sell me the ballast from their projector headlight? - Or any ideas on where I can get a working one cheap? - M.B. wants close to $700 bills for one new. - It's an 05' C230K S.S.

Are you sure Mercedes wont warranty this? It would seem to me that the ballast should be waterproof...

The car is past the warrenty I think & the guy who had it before me removed the inner fender plastic thingys that shield it from water, so I don't think the warrenty would cover that anyway.
