Blackdc2 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I think I blew out one of my hid ballast's, while washing the car. I have a set of IS hid's retrofited in a teg of mine. I just can't figure out a part number to get a new one. I am guessing early years of the IS. My 04' IS has little ballasts mounted on the shock towers. Can anybody get me a part number or have a used one that they will sell me?? I at least just need to figure out the year. The guys in the Lexus parts department don't want to help me at all. BTW, THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON YOUR FORUM!!
SKperformance Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 So your retro kit on a teg is blown from an unkown year IS?
bartkat Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 NOBODY??? It doesn't look like anything I've seen on an IS.
Blackdc2 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 So your retro kit on a teg is blown from an unkown year IS? Yes, but I do believe it is an early year IS. I was hoping someone with an IS would look under thier hood and see if it looks the same. My other works fine and the bulb from this one works in the other ballast, so it has to be the ballast.
AiTriva Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Have you tried searching on ebay for it? Only IS300 HID ballasts I can pull up don't look like what you show in the pic. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?c...&category0=

It has the shielded output cable that's hardwired to the box.
SKperformance Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 That is a German styled Phillips ballast with an external ignitor.
Blackdc2 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 That is a German styled Phillips ballast with an external ignitor. Mine is, or there's is? I guess I could use any of them though. Does anyone have a USED one for a decent price?
Blackdc2 Posted September 15, 2006 Author Posted September 15, 2006 www.hidplanet.com thanks. I had never seen them before. They want almost $300 for a pair of ballast's. I only need one and a USED one at that. Plus I don't know if I use two different kinds of ballasts if the light will look the same.
Rx330driver Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 if you tell me where to look, i can take a look at my IS '02 but i have no idea where that is located...im guessing hear the headlight :P. If i have to take anything apart, im sorry, im not that type of handyman
SKperformance Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 that website also has a forum with used parts for sale otherwise go on ebay for them.
