Default HID Experts Here?

Well guys, I have given up the search for Catz replacement parts after an accident this summer took out one light, damaging the housing (replaced it) and the glare shield only from my Catz unit. Of course the ideal replacement would be to just find the Catz glare shield and be done. I've already tried, but still welcome help there if you can. The car is a 2002 Corvette with pop-up lights and H4 'export' glass housings.

Where I currently sit, I am just wanting to get my H4 high/low HID kit functioning. I would like to keep all my Catz wiring installed, and use as much of that kit as possible since it was pretty well made. The ballasts, ignitors, and capsules all work from the Catz kit, I just cannot use the capsule since it requires a properly fitted glare shild, which I do not have (frustrating, as you could imagine).

So IMHO the second easiest solution would be the find a new 35w 4300-4700k high/low capsule that could plug directly into my Catz wiring without buying a complete kit. I would prefer purchasing just the capsule/glare shield, or capsule/glare shield and ingitors.

I am not interested in a projector (well, I am...but want to keep it simple), and would love to have a kit that plugs up without splicing.

My Questions:
- What untits would you recommend in terms of quality?
- Can I purchase just the parts mentioned about without harness/ballasts, etc.

Thanks, and here are photos of the connectors to my Catz kit to help simplify.
