1991 HID Ballast

Hey guys, am new to the forum. I just picked up a 1991 500sl. This car has what appears to be factory style HID headlights (projector in headlight housing). However the right hand side does not work and i believe it is the ballast (no voltage coming from ballast to bulb). I tried to search but did not find my answer. Where (other than the dealership) can i find a replacement ballast for the factory style headlamps?? Or would i be able to wire up an aftermarket kit to my factory housing? I found that stealthauto.com has a decent price on xenon kits.
Thanks guys
