What is HID Ballast? A ballast is a crucial part of a fluorescent or xenon headlight. In a fluorescent lighting system, the ballast provides the voltage needed to start the lamp and regulates the electrical current of the light once it is lit. Without a ballast, the lamp would draw too much power, causing it to burn out quickly - sometimes even within a few minutes. The ballast prevents this from happening and ensures you get the benefits of the lamp's full lifetime. Quality ballast acts as DC to AC converter so that you can use the normal DC power source in the car to light the bulbs efficiently. The most common cause of HID Ballast failure is long term use, which can resulting in a headlight flicker or cannot turn on at all. Read more How to Test an HID Ballast: Step 1 Open the hood of your car. Step 2 Put on latex gloves. Oil from your fingers can damage the HID bulb and reduce its lifespan. Step 3 Connect the HID bulb to the ballast by plugging the ballast plug into the bulb socket. Step 4 Use two wires to connect the ballast to the car battery. Ballasts made for cars usually come with a plug that encloses the positive and negative wires together. Attach one end of the first wire to the positive terminal on the battery and connect the other end to the positive terminal inside the ballast plug. Attach the second wire from the negative terminal on your car battery to the negative terminal inside the ballast plug. If the bulb and ballast are working correctly, the bulb will light up. Conversely, the ballast may be malfunctioning. Customers can find the product you need accurately according to the OE number. 5DV008290004, 5DV008290000, 4E0 907 476 63 12 0 150 614, 63 12 6 907 488, 63 12 6 916 100 6235149, 2M5112K072AA, 002 820 23 26 C2S015079, 5103356AA Read more How to replace a ballast? When ballast fail, you'd better replace it so that you can enjoy the real strengths of HID bulbs. Ballasts are commonly mounted either on the back or on the bottom of the headlight. You just need to remove the whole headlight housing first there and they are easy to work on. Take out the headlight housing, the ballast is right there on the back. Then remove the old HID ballast and replace a new one.

- The ballast is to help your lamp start up quickly. When the lamp is turned on, the ballast provides a surge of higher voltage to the lamp. This helps establish an arc between two electrodes on the lamp, which is what causes HID bulbs to light up.After the electrode arc is established, the ballast reduces the voltage and regulates the electric current. This ensures the light produced is even and steady, without flickering or fading.
- The ballast can act as DC to AC converter so that you can use the normal DC power source in the car to light the bulbs efficiently. The most common problem of HID Ballast failure is flickering, dipped beam not working or light failed, which may resulting from long term use. When have problems, you'd better replace it to avoid inconvenience to your driving. This ballast fits 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 years.
