Or am I forced to buy an entire new headlight assembly? Does anyone know? My headlight shines normal at first then fades back to halogen white. Tried different bulbs but only with the same results...

Also if I buy an entire new headlight assemble I'm sure it would look crystal clear compared to my regular 2000 headlight which has dust (or what have you) from usage. Is it possible to switch the lens only? I wouldn't want one with a dusty look and one clear.

Just get a bosch ballast Armani, You need to pull the headlight out and the ballast is located on the the under-side of the lamp. It is easy to replace. other brand replacment would be hella and phillips.

thanks benznodubs. believe it or not i actually got it for $50. would you know how to install it or where i can find some instructions? thanks

You wouldn't happen to have a part number on those ballasts? And know if they fit an 02? Mine are starting to go out and I really don't want to pay dealer price on them. Thanks!

Just get a complete aftermarket hid kit with bulbs and ballasts from the group buy section of this forum

It only costs $40-70 for a complete kit for both sides
