I can't say with authority, but those may be as phony as a three dollar bill.

From what I can gather, a French company makes ballasts for Bosch and they look like this:









You can buy OEM parts off of eBay.

This guy: integra9006hid sells Denso ballasts, Phillips bulbs and a casper shield to reduce glare when you mount the rebased bulb in our stock projector housings. I ordered from him and was very pleased with what I got. I plan to install this weekend. I'm making up a custom harness so I don't fry my stock wiring.

You should order D2R bulbs to reduce glare unless you plan to eventually retrofit projectors as I do - for that you need D2S. I just got these babies today but I need to find a spare set of headlight housings before I attempt the retrofit.
