Xenon lights

Finally my passanger light went out. I had problems before. When turning on the passanger headlight would filcker and turn off. It had to turn the switch a couple of times till the light would stay on. I know it's because of the ballast. You see on the pic that the driver side was brighter.
I just ordered a ballast from Ebay. Now the fun part will be taking my AMG front bumper off.

I bought the Hella Gen 3. The same type that comes with the car stock.
Ebay for $80 for one ballast.
