These ballasts from Matsushita are original equipment on specific JDM cars that come with factory HID headlights.
Unfortunately, like most car parts, headlight ballasts have a rated lifespan and sometimes do not last that long.
Replacing them outside of warranty is never inexpensive either!
This part typically costs about $400 from the dealership...ouch!
Good as New!
This ballast replacement is designed to meet/exceed all OE specifications and will serve as a direct replacement for the factory unit.
It is not OEM but fits and functions identically for a fraction of the price!
Most headlight ballasts and bulbs are rated at 2000 hours of run time, and if one has just failed, chances are the others are not far behind.
It is advisable to replace everything at the same time to avoid the hassle of removing the headlamp and taking off the bumper again!
Certain makes and models may utilize different OEM HID ballasts depending on the production date and/or trim level.
It is always best to double-check and match the part used on your actual vehicle to ensure compatibility.
While exchanges can be made, we are not responsible for misinformation if the wrong unit is purchased.
