03 LS430 HID ballast bad, need suggestions
My Dad's 2003 LS430 has a bad ballast on one side, so the HID bulb is not illuminating.
We pulled the ballast, harness, bulb out.... and it's obviously corroded and in need of replacement.
Can someone advise me on how simple and IF it will work to use an aftermarket HID kit with new ballast, harness, and bulbs. Does the harness from this type of kit plug directly into a connector on the Lexus?
Please do not tell me to search, I've searched and I can't find a CLEAR answer to my topic.
Thank you in advance,
Christian

We are specifically interested in one of the XenonDepot kits at the web address below,

Since we need just one ballast, I was thinking about buying a used pull from a junk yard, there's some on eBay for about $80. Then I could order two new DR2 bulbs from Xenon Depot for $60/pair.
