[s-cars] HID ballast replacements?

Hello,

A little over a year ago I bought a Phillips HID kit from a s-car
lister. Recently, it seems that one of the Phillips ballasts has died,
leaving me with only one HID headlight. I've swapped the stock halogens
back in for now, but am really missing the extra lighting. So far, my
theory is that a combination of a slightly flaky power connector and hot
underhood temps caused the ballast to have a significantly shorter
lifespan than normal. I am working on finding a better place to mount it
next time - used to have it taped to the back of the windshield fluid
bottle.

I can't seem to find a place that will sell me just the ballast though.
I'm not too keen on buying another entire kit. Can anyone help me out on
this?

Regards,
