Talking Help With My Retrofit

Hey guys, trying to get my retrofits sorted out. They've been collecting dust for about 4 years due to a wiring issue with the connector in the link below. I think I might replace the connector. I have a Mini H1 kit (6.0 if memory serves well)... can anyone tell me what connector it is that I need pictured here?

Thanks!

K great. Looks like the wires are attached to the prongs already I think I'll have an easier time splicing the wires rather than getting TRS piece and trying to connect the wires to the prongs. Cheers!

Hey guys, I ended up solving the connection issue, but I believe I have another issue. My ballasts seem to be completely rotted based on how they look- I'm sure that's the issue as I don't seem to be getting any power.

What would you guys recommend as a replacement? They're the MiniH1 35w 6.0 projectors with 35w 5K bulbs. Has anyone ever had any luck with Amazon/Ebay ballasts as replacements? I'd rather not shell out $120 for another set that just rots as well.

Thanks!

Do you just need one? or both? I likely have a set of functional ballasts I'd sell to you for a good price shipped.

Got them working- turned out to be the relay and bad grounds. I bought a MotoControl 9007 relay harness now the lights work. However the high/low beams are reversed. Anyone experience this before?

That's normal, instructions usually say to switch two wires if using as a 9007 instead of on a 9004 as the high low signals are switched

This. Switch the end wires (the blue cap plug)
