HID retrofit help
I'm doing a TSX retrofit into my 00 ITR. I have the ballast/ignitor, bulbs, projectors, but the ballasts didn't come with the headlight harness connector. I went to my Acura dealer and they want to sell me a whole headlight harness, and I've searched the wreckers but none of them have the connector. I'm just curious if anyone might know where to get a connector. It's the same connector on the 02-03 TL and 04 an up TSX.
Here's a pic of the connector on the ballast; I'm looking for the headlight harness connector to plug into that.

Re: HID retrofit help (DXmike)
I believe all you need is a female connector. I forget the exact name of it but I got 2 at Pepboys for like $10. You'll love the tsx retrofit. I absolutely love mine.

No Pep Boys in Canada, eh. The online selection isn't extensive enough that I could order one from them.
I tried partsource, Carquest, Canadian Tire, dealership, and wreckers. No dice so far.
That retrofit looks HAWT! Can't wait to get mine done...

Re: HID retrofit help (DC2R714)
Yesss, we do have Autozone and NAPA, I will try them next.
DC2R714 - does your retrofit simply connect to the balast off the stock harness, or did customlightz make you a new harness for the HIDs?

Re: HID retrofit help (DXmike)
I had them make me a harness, but I added the plugs so that it was plug n play. I am using E46 ballasts though so they might be different than the OEM TSX I am not sure.

what did the guys at customlightz say? or if they are that cheap at pep boys then hop the border or get a friendly neighbour to the south to ship you them for some beer or something.
