Ahh yes, I remember these being for sale on here. To answer your question yes you can buy just the ballasts. The cheapest place to get them would probably be ddmtuning.com

Now listen closely, they sell ballasts for 12.50 each, so for a pair it would be $25. That's good and dandy but they only have 1 year warranty when you buy them this way so if 366 days from the purchase date they fail you're SOL.

But for $30, only $5 more you can order a complete kit through them which will include bulbs and ballasts and Lifetime warranty on everything. So obviously this is the better deal not just because of the warranty but because you can pick the temperature color you want rather than having to settle for whatever is already in there.

I know you are set on using the bulbs already in there, but it really is better to just get the whole kit. For example, those bulbs haven't been used for a while now, so say you buy just ballasts, what if one of the bulbs already in there fails, Now you have to buy bulbs, the pair will run $15, added to the $25 spent on just ballasts, that's $40, you would have spent $10 more and still only got a year warranty. Don't mean to be rude just trying to look out in getting you the best deal.

Well put Vic.

I only elaborated so much because OP is very set on buying just ballasts, when its clearly better to get a whole kit.

You convinced me haha
I'm getting the kit.

But as far as the bulbs, all the ones ddm tuning sells will fit correct?
So its just a matter of choosing a temperature?

Vic has the patience of a saint lol

I truly am very patient, (not just saying). People always tell me that. Whether its remote start installation or just waiting.

You have to get the correct size. If not sure, pull one out and post a picture of it.

Also. you are right by their Huntington Beach warehouse, you can just drive there and save the shipping cost and wait, which is like a week since they ship out of china for online orders. The warehouse is for local "will-cal" pick up.

Hold on working on it

**jonry** · 03-10-2012, 04:05 AM

**jonry** · 03-10-2012, 04:06 AM

those are the extras he gave me

**carl3g** · 03-10-2012, 11:32 AM

Did he say the extras and the bulbs from the projectors are the same size?

**jonry** · 03-10-2012, 12:26 PM

I don't believe he ever specifically said that but I would assume they are. I will check when I get a chance

**carl3g** · 03-10-2012, 12:29 PM

If I were you, check the bulbs in the projector to make sure of what you need.

**oakrdrs187** · 03-10-2012, 03:29 PM

Well they are from ddmtuning. But I cant make out the base. Post one more pic of the back pf the light with bulbs and caps/grommets off to expose where the bulbs sit.
