Xenon HID Ballast 35W DC 12V Universal Replacement for H1 H3 H4 H7 H11 H13 9005 9006 9007 5202 880

I give these 5 stars because they were $10 each and do what they're supposed to do. I installed these to power fog lights on a 2005 Volvo S60 and they have worked for over 26 hours of running time (1500 miles).I also installed these on a 2006 Volvo S40 to power the low beams. They immediately had problems keeping the bulbs on after 15 minutes of driving. I suspected it might be the stock wiring to the headlights or the voltage. I installed warning light canceling capacitors and that issue disappeared. So far, so good. I would buy these again for another application.Update: the voltage to the central electronic module on the 2006 S40 caused the wiper motor to go nuts and burn out. I had to replace the wiper motor and uninstall these ballasts.

The ballast went on my 160,000 mile Q45 for the second time. The first time was at about 100,000 miles. I had a choice of replacing it with the OEM ballast and D2R lights for probably $700 at the time or take a chance with generic bulbs and a generic ballast for a fraction of the cost. My logic was that if it only lasted a year I would be ahead of the game. Well, the first one lasted about 5 years. Enough to make it worthwhile. This time I mounted the ballast behind the light fixture rather than underneath. That way it will be easier to replace if I should need to in another 5 years.My colors are true (I run 6000K). I have had no issues with flicker or capacity. These work as well has the OEM ballast on the other side.I also considered LEDs. Note they usually have a fan and the less expense ones have about the same lumen output as my generic Xenon HID's.

I bought a pair of these ballasts when one of my DDM ballasts went out. As much as I hate to say this, I actually preferred the DDM ballasts over these for a couple of reasons: They were more compact because they didn't have a tail on the connector plug, also they warmed up quicker. The Innovited ballasts seem much slower to come on, but when they are on, they are not very smooth. They flicker and you can see the unevenness in the lighting.None of these issues are actually problems, just disappointments. These ballasts work and they're inexpensive, so if you're looking for a quick fix to get you by for a couple more years, these are a decent option.

Product works great. Just another chinese HID ballast/ignitor combo.If you plan to use this on a European car, or a CANBUS bar, you may need some anti-flicker/CANBUS adapters, such as these:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002O95M3K/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_28I did for my 2008 VW GTI.Up here in the midwest, we have a lot of salt, a lot of rain, harsh road conditions. I usually get about 2 years out of these ballasts, before the salt and moisture just erode them to death. For the price, that's completely fine with me. Would definitely buy again.

It works great for the light..The original one I had last me for four years but this one I have to replace it every year I guess you get what you pay for.good price

Lights work great! Has the rich bright blue color that I was looking for but the only thing is the brightness is a little dimmer than expected. Other than that the lights were great and the installation was super easy! The wire assemblies were simple and plug and go motive. Love the light!

I have a HID spotlight that I had gotten from amazon sometime ago and went to use it and the ballast did not work so I ordered these as replacement for the light. I tried both and did not work. I even tried on a known working light and they just buzz and would not work

Like others, I experienced flickering and I also couldn't get the right color. I bought 2 bulbs not long ago (same brand) and then realized one of my old ballasts quit working (same brand). Bought this ballast to replace it and while it worked, I tried 3 different bulbs that:#1 were too "blue"#2 flickered#3 were too dimI couldn't understand why my 5000k bulbs looked like 6000k on this ballast but look like they're supposed to on my old ballast. I give 2 stars because it technically worked, but didn't give the results I wanted. In the end I'm junking 4 bulbs and 3 ballasts and going with something different. I've had 4+ HID kits in my car over the past 6 years and have had trouble with all of them at some point. Now going to try LED's since they require no ballasts or cutting or mounting.
