    Xenon + ballast question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi all,

    I just bought these S4 headlights off from someone selling them here on the zine and received them today. It came with the bulbs, harness, and ballast. Bulbs, harness, and housings look fine but the ballest do not fit these housings. I attached some photos of what I am talking about. Can someone help me figure out if they are not the correct ones.

    Thanks for the help!

    These are not from an S4, at list not an S4 sold in the US because they all have adaptive headlight
    What you have here is a non adaptive headlight with an adaptive ballast.
    You need to by an non adaptive ballast (left on the picture) to install on these headlights

    Well, not going to happen
    The good in this situation: there is plenty of ballast for sale on ebay with small connector

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-06-to-08...5603ac&vxp=mtr
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-06-09-Au...965938&vxp=mtr

    And the ballast with long connectors are selling for much more
