You can get second hand ones from Jap Performance Parts. My father is an electrical engineer and had a good look at one of my old busted ones. Couldn't fix it. There are so many components inside it would take forever trying to find the right one.

I got a second hand from from Integrastella that still set me back £90

called both of these company's and other specilest breakers and none have stock

Got one for sale. Pm me if you like a second hand part! Was fully working when removed

I replaced mine with a full aftermarket kit for £60 I think for hid direct. Bulb type is d2r.

what are the after market ones like to wire up? as obviously it's no plug n play

Positive and negative wires. My car had an aftermarket HID kit already with the OEM connector removed and the new wires solidered and heatwrap to the car loom. Obliviously drivers and passenger side. Can't remember if there is an earth wire too. But if there is, just earth it to the chassis.

I dunno if the OEM connector would allow you to use spade connectors?
