HID Headlight Ballasts
A friend of mine has the ACA headlight kit from a few years ago. I mentioned to him that I saw a thread earlier by forum sponsor who was trying to get another group purchase going, however the ACA legal/copyright issues are still pending preventing a group purchase.
I had mentioned that the new kits (from a company I won't name for obvious reasons) had smaller/thinner ballasts.
My question, can you swap out the older thicker ballasts for the newer thinner ballasts? If so, where can you purchase them?
Thanks!

Not sure myself. I am of course the vendor you are talking about. I am going to be bringing that back as soon as China gets off the holiday.
There has been no proof shown to me and all sources show the litigation claims was BS.

Thanks! Didn't want to draw unnecessary attention.

The slim Phillips ballasts were being used, it's the exact same ballast that the C6 uses.
that way if you had a ballast or bulb go bad you could go to any chevy dealer or auto parts store, and get one.
I believe a connector on the harness needs to be changed.
