HID ballast removal

Thought I'd drop a line here and tell you guys what I did to remove the fried HID ballast on the passenge side.

Pulled airbox out - held down by a few rubber connectors (3), no need to disassemble.

opened headlamp from rear via circular seal (like bulb change)

unscrewed ballast wire retainer (x)

unscrewed headlamp washer retainer 2 (x)-- black plastic, pushed to side

ballast is supported by plastic cage 2 (x) that are accessed from bottom, one needs a snub (x) driver

unclipped power to ballast

pulled ballast out of cage

ebay for used one

I'll post a pic soon.
