    Which headlights?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Ok so this is the issue.


    I have stock Xenons. One of my ballasts is fried, and in the same side, the connector coming from the inside of the harness to the ballast is bad.


    So what should I do?


    I See that I can buy kits with bulbs/ballasts, but then I'll still have connector issue.

    How do I know which kit will work for me?

    H1, H13, H3, etc etc?

    The connector that is bad is the tiny, 4 prong [only using 2 prongs though].

    It comes from inside of harness. Looks so cheap, but I fear they are going to try and sell me entire unit...

    Thanks all!

    D2S bulbs only come with early 02 production. For the rest of A4 production, D1S bulbs are used.

    They'll have nice pre-owned Valeo ballasts and connectors for a reasonable price

    I know what bulbs. That's not what I asked.


    Which of these kits would I get for my stock xenon housings?

    I'm telling you, dont buy that junk. Why not just replace the blown ballast and cable?

    Re: Which headlights?

    Well just got back from working on ballast, basically it was filled with water [my fault]


    I left the ballast out in the sun today, and it works now. Those kits cost about as much as the bulbs do.

    I have an extra set of D1S here..


    Idk where to get wire/connector from. It goes from inside harness to ballast.

    Just emailed HID concepts, though :)
