Default Ballast question.

Ok...so my ballast is toast and I got told to order this one...http://www.vvme.com/catalog/list-s-10145-10148.html Will this one work without modifications? Or what will I have to splice or do whatever to make it work. The dealer quoted me 500 for the ballast and that is just rediculous.

Od...if anyone knows of any cheaper that will easily work please let me know.

Supposed to be plug and play, if not read the instruction manual, it should tell you how to hook it up.

True, I am just worried about the audi hooking into it. The picture they have is not the greatest.

No way, I am gonna put that stuff on my car. You might want to think what will happen if it screws your wiring. That will cost you 1000 bucks plus and vvme don't make them cheap, so you might up getting things fixed from dealer. Comon, it's not a Honda civic ..$15 blast??

Not one problem has been reported with thier products yet, just people that don't know how to install them. They are actually pretty good quality for the price, its not gonna smoke the harness anyway, thats retarded hard to do.

Hmmm, interesting. I still can't compare that something that costs 15bucks can replace and work like500 bucks worth partat dealership. I am very particular about the electronics in these cars.
