You tried on eBay bud? Last time I looked ballasts were about £60 a pop? I THINK they run D1S bulbs so you can buy any ones that are standard D1S fitment and they should work but don't hold me to that!
Headlights themselves on eBay are about £200 a side last time I looked.
Yea D1S and 6G ballast pal. Regarding the D1S do I just need a pair for the xenons? And obviously side lights and indicators. I'm thinking 8k or 10k bulbs.

10k would be too blue? 4300k is what OEM uses I believe. 6k is more of a whiter light, as you move up the scale it goes to more of a blue tint and then more of a purple tint.
I think you would just need a pair for the outer projectors. I believe the inner projectors have a halogen bulb that light up when you turn corners but only if you have adaptive xenons? Otherwise it's just an empty bowl.

The guy is giving me the ballasts and osram 6k bulbs to go with and a spare pair of ds1s. All infor £190 collected. He's 30miles away so not to bad at all.
As I currently have crappy halogens. And have now bought xenons which mine came with from factory, where will I find the Angel eye led plug from the car? Cheerd
Do you know if you got facelift or pre facelift xenon headlights?
the prefacelift are xenon lights with the full beam bulb being halogen and it sited within the inner halo. Facelift lights are Bi-Xenon, so the xenon bulb does both dipped headlights and full beam and the inner halo is either blanked off, or on adaptive lights it's a dim halogen bulb which comes on during tight turns
I see from your sig you've got a convertible, so if you got xenons for the coupe/convertible you should have the bi-xenon set up as I don't think they came with the earlier design that the hatch had.

Are you asking if the headlights ive got are facelift or non facelift or my actual car? As I'm not sure but here's some pics of them. It runs on h7, d1s and I think the bulb is h10 for the Angel eye bulbs and 6g ballasts.
Now mate have you just tried to plug them in. They'll be enough to cable length to sit them on top of engine bay. And just try them see what's working and what's not bud

Will giveaway a try pal.!. Haha thanks good idea. It's just this Angel plug I can't find...? Stumped by it. If anyone knows where it comes from in the bay that would be great or has some pics.
I couldn't see the pic that great as its on my phone. But I would of thought it would off been in the main block connection as angel eyes are really only the equivelant to side lights on hologens. does the wiring inside the lights go to the Angel eye bulbs. Also I no u didn't have high beams on hologen set up but did u have side lights mate.
