I would guess on the bottom or the caps, anywhere there's a flat surface really. I don't have them myself so I know that's not very useful. In essence, if you can't find a VW stamp with part numbers, I'd guess they aren't genuine parts.

Sorry about not knowing the cost of the  ballast's and igniter's but if you got the light's cheap enough i'm sure some will turn up soon on ebay! :happy2:
