Question Where to buy? - Projector replacement bulb?

Wondering if anyone knew where to get replacement bulbs for the Projectors that use to be available through GB a few years ago? One of mine conveniently exploded. Dunno if Guinness still gets a hold of these as I don't know if he's still around.

Just a refresher what it looks like:

Thx!

That sounds bad to me... I have a set of retro fit lights I bought a few months back and have yet installed... I will need high and low beams out here in the woods where I live... How would I go about finding bulbs so I will have them if one goes bad? I hope some one has an answer.

Found a replacement after visiting 3 different stores yesterday. It was their last bulb off a projector hid kit that they discontinued selling...Good news is they can get more from their supplier over seas, the bad is it takes months after they submit their order. Could always have some ordered now and being able to have spares eventually come in is reassuring.
I did find something online with the exact measurements to the bulb I got, found on Ebay.
How does the conversion harness look like? Seems the bulb has no base and fits into a awkward hole of the rear of the projector kind of like picture 3 and 4 on the ebay page.

Just call Lawrence, I had mine burn out a month ago and I got a replacement from him pretty quickly. Only had to drive to Richmond for pick up.
