Unhappy Need to replace ONE Sylvania Xenarc x2010 HID lamp, Help!

I just got whacked in my 04' heritage and lost the front-driver's side. $6k damage. When I got out and looked, my left Sylvania/Visteon Xenarc x2010 was destroyed. The truck has since been repaired but I knew it be difficult, if not impossible, to get a replacement x2010 this many years later. What is sad is that the ballast and bulbs are fine (believe it or not), but the reflector and lens are toast. I wish I could just get a replacement assembly and put my electronics in it. I bought crappy aftermarket housings with stock bulbs to hold me over until I can find something more permanent.

Is there anyone or anyplace selling these anymore? I keep checking ebay but have yet to see one...

I haven't seen Xenarcs in a LONG time. Good luck with your search.

Me neither! I am going to need some luck I think... The worst part is that I have one fully functional - what a tease!

I would be happy to if I had some.

I can't find any of the ones I took years ago but if I happen to get replacement Xenarcs or at least the one I need, I'll re-install them and snap a couple photos.
The beam pattern was great. There were two hot spots but they weren't a problem. In fact, I grew to appreciate them. High-beam coverage (halogen) was excellent.

I really don't want to throw kit HID's in my current aftermarket housings because I am really not impressed with the coverage and beam pattern - HID really won't help that any, even if it is whiter and brighter.
