There's a fish guy in Indianapolis that has this little slim but long dark yellow driver, but I can't remember where he got it.

It depends on what kind of driver you are looking for.
Line voltage, battery, auto?
500W, 50W, 5W?

Original power source is 120v AC, so maybe a DC transformer.
Want a single mode(on/off), so either a push pin switch or a on/off toggle switch.
6-8 xm-l, want it to light the cabinet portion of my fish tank when my doors are open.

Ah! You want an LED Lighting Transformer. While it is a type of driver, they are not called drivers in the lighting industry. Meanwell makes a broad line of them, and is carried by a number of distributors. Also, any lighting outlet (online or brick-and-mortar) should carry them as well, and could advise you in person. Price and quality will range widely.
Seems like 6-8 XM-Ls is an awful lot of light for a cabinet. That's more like medium sized room lighting. That's like several hundred watts of incandescent bulbs. It may make for nice distribution of light, but I think you'll find you want to run them around 10%.
