Default Best source for OEM ballasts

Hello,

It looks like I need a ballast for my 2007 IS350. Where can I get the best price on a genuine OEM ballast? I saw a good price on a highly rated ebay site but I'm not very confident about any ebay source. Can the Retro Fit Source be trusted? Their price looks OK. https://www.theretrofitsource.com/hi...lasts-oem.html

If I need to remove the bumper I think I'll do both sides. Does this make sense?

Below is the ebay source.

Thanks

That Ebay ballast is 99% sure to be counterfeit. What is the price from an online Lexus dealer I remember them being around $200 that's only $20 more than from theretrofitsource.com.

How close to the OEM ballast are the ballasts that the Retrofit Source sells? Will they last as long?
