Ya, the correct ones are high,don't think you'll find one at a parts store price. I broke one by accident, so I know how you feel.

This is probably going to sound sacrlegious but.... the AC/Delco replacement ballast looks VERY close to oem. Especially if you have the oem metal retainer, the Ac/Delco slips right into the Mopar retainer. 90% of viewers will never know and the Ac/Delco part is about $9.00 from your local O'Reilly auto parts store.
