Stock HIDs replacement bulbs
So I took the car to the mechanic today and he was able to improvise a way to hold the bulb in place instead of the tabs. I thought it was great work.
All in all, changing out two ballasts and bulbs plus labor will cost around $500 inclusive. Great deal if I could say so myself

^ I'm sure it does include the stable way to hold the bulbs, but I still wouldn't suggest using a "repair" method once the tabs break. I would rather go with the used headlights on the marketplace right now for $450 shipped. The OP can sell his other ballast to recoup some losses and not have to ever worry about the "improvised" repair ever failing.
It's like trying to repair the road once it has a crack in it. Eventually, the repair has to be repaired again. The permanent fix is to repave the road again. Unless the OP is planning on getting rid of the car soon, I wouldn't repair those headlights.
