could also be the ignitor, not the ballast. i had a delay in bulb ignition in the drivers side, ended up buying new philips bulbs and a new ignitor. problem solved and light output is up 30%

Thanks for the suggestion but that part no is for the ignitor, and not for the ballast that is mounted on the bottom of the ignitor. But thanks for your input. I am still looking for an oem ballast guys/gals.

The ballast is also called the "Control Unit". Part number 63126907488 Prices start at around $80 on eBay PS: Are you sure it's the ballast? You can swap bulb and ignitor from left to right (assuming the other side works) to pinpoint which component is at fault. I did this to narrow down that my specific issue was to do with the bulb, not the ballast or ignitor. |

yup I checked the ignitor and bulb by swapping them over before I posted. I was hoping it would be the cheaper of the two evils. If anyone has ever bought a ballast off of ebay can you please recommend a reputable seller.

I don't know about the ballast, but the guy that sold me the bulb was quick, and it was exactly as described. He has a good rating, and pretty sure I saw that he has ballasts a while ago too.
Look up "factory_oem_xenon", but YMMV. Good luck! |
