Guest niteryder Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The chances are you will need a complete new kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 We have a GB running here: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=220677 If you need just a single ballast it would be £20 delivered. A pair of ballasts would be £30 delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have one spare one because the other that came with it lasted about 2 minutes before going pop. sent the broken one back to china for replacement and am still waiting for it to arrive. I will probably be waiting 100 years. I would have thought all ballasts where the same though, as in you don't need a matching pair. I would think you just need matching bulbs.
