S500 HID ballast
Hello all,
What type of HID ballasts will work with a S500 with factory HID (All 97-99 S500 comes with factory HID, I believe)? My car's driver side headlight is damaged in a small accident, and the body shop's looking at it right now. I'd like to know what types of ballasts/bulbs will work with it in case the ballast is damaged and needs to be replaced.
By the way, where's the best place to find a headlight housing? The headlight housing for W140 w/HIDs are obscenely expensive on ebay and the car parts website.
Thanks!

mercedes uses bosch ballast. if its insurance, just make the bodyshop order them directly from a mercedes dealer.
