<p>hi people. Brand new here to this club. What got to me is that I have a probelm
with my IS350 HID ballast and I want some ideas or suggestions from you guys.</p>
<p>First of all, on my car the right headlight flips on and off, sometimes is
on, sometimes is off and sometimes is dim. So i took the car back to dealership
and found out that is the ballast is gone and they quoted me $1575 for the ballast,
$250 for bulb and $150 for labour. All that with tax is over $2000.</p>
<p>I tell you right now, that I am not gonna do it. I rather take 20 x $100 bills
and stick it all over that right headlight then making the fix. "Of, but
you will get tickets from the cops!" Yea, the ticket is $170, and 3 months
to dispute it, so in a year I will have 4 tickets, and in 2 years is 8 tickets.
So at the end is only $1360.00 for 2 years of contant ticketing. Is a lease
car anyway.</p>
<p>First of all I want to ask any experts here, is the ballast on '06 IS350 the
same as the one on '09 RX350? If so, I can swap those ballast cause I still
have warranty on my '09 RX350.</p>
<p>Second, I was looking on ebay and the ballast is selling for like $100 used.
But how can i find out that it is exactly the part that I need?</p>
<p>Any thoughts and input to this matter would be appreciated. thanks</p>
