Hello all. I know there are a lot of threads on this, and trust me I searched a ton, but I have some real specific questions that I couldnt find answers to. Thanks in advance!!

One headlight took a dump last week. I swapped bulbs from one side to the other, and its still out so its def an ignitor or ballast issue.

I wouldnt really mind going with an aftermarket kit, but Im trying to avoid a big project right now and really wanted a direct replacement (plug and play)

The retrofitsource.com has stock replacement mitsu ballasts for $200 (pair).
Mitsubishi Gen 4 Ballasts

Question 1:
Now these are apparently Gen 4 ballasts and the 04 TSX has a gen 2 ballast stock. Does anyone know if THIS ballast (the gen 4) is plug and play and a direct swap with the Gen 2 ballasts the TSX comes with stock? The site says its a 9006 male connection, but I cant seem to find anywhere if the stock Acura harness is a 9006 female connector.

Question 2:
If I went with a full aftermarket set up from them as shown here: D2S: Morimoto Elite HID System - HID Systems from The Retrofit Source Inc
does anyone know which harness type I would select? Any any of the harnesses plug and play with my car or would splicing be required (for either option...?)

Thanks again in advance.

To add. I emailed them to ask my questions and they couldnt really give me a definate answer. They just said some splicing my be required...

Hello EJ8VTEC,

Looks like replacement ballasts come with adapter wires so if you get the ballasts it can work with either plugs

Yes they do, I needed to know which adapter harness i should get. Cant figure out which honda uses..

Looks like they provide the 9006 connectors so just in case you are using an older system the ballast will work the same . Which plug did you need ?
