In no particular order just as they currently show in the vendor section on the 1st page:

Tspny
Mod-express
Xenondepot
!jdmtoy
Nigel-jdmparts

You'll need to go to their sites or pm them directly to find out prices for just ballasts. There are plenty of options over ebay for these. Good luck

You have replaced 3 OEM ballast on your car? both sides or one side? are they used ballast?
Why would you want to put aftermarket on OEM? Garbage Aftermarket on top of that.

I always got my HID's from DDMTuning, so far they have never given me a problem and they have a lifetime warranty from what I remember.
