Did some searching and just got confused with all the answers and different parts and numbers.

Looking for a straight answer on what ballast I need and were to get it (lowest cost)

I bought a set of bi-xenon head lights with adaptive cornering (not using that function till I can afford the kit).

I have ordered the bulbs, the harness, and the lights.

Anything else I will be needing other than the ballast?

Thanks

You want to purchase the one on the right side (sometimes called as long-shape version between us audizine guys [:)]).

You don't have to buy anything else beside 6x ballast mounting screw.

I did the same thing! I just bought Bi-xenons with the adaptive cornering function off an AZ member a few days ago and I've purchased the HID bulbs, the Kufatec harness (on back order), but I need to know which ballasts to order. I've read on AZ that you can order the ballast from a MOPAR dealer instead of Audi as it's wayyyy cheaper!

You also need to buy the wires that go from the ballast to the bulbs
