One of the ballasts on the car has gone, it's an aftermarket kit. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I'd go about getting a new one? I'm going to just put all the writing on it into Google and see what comes up but just in case I have a bit of bother, here's a picture of the thing.



Thanks

I think you're right, none of that writing is coming up with anything anyway. I've found spare ballasts but don't have a clue whether the connections would be the same.

Don't eurocarparts stock the ballast on it's own?

I'll maybe check Eurocarparts but I didn't think they'd stock anything like this.

I knew MJ on here did them a while back but wasn't sure if it was ongoing. I'll give him a u2u and see if he can sort me out, cheers.

Edit, just checked there and he's not been active for a while. I've u2u'd him anyway but I'll need to sort it as soon as possible.

I bought 2 sets on ebay.

First was good in that they didn't flicker but colour was awful. Second flicked but was fine when I installed some canbus cancellers and have been fine ever since.
