Replacement ballast for Audi HID Headlights for less than OE
Find a less expensive replacement ballast for Audi HID Headlights
If you have a problem with your Audi HID headlights and you have tested power to the headlight igniter (also called an HID ballast), the problem could be either the bulb or the igniter/ballast. The parts from Audi cost a fortune. But Standard Motor parts now sells a replacement ballast for Audi HID headlights for a fraction of OE price. A ballast puts out very high voltage, so don’t try testing the old unit unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

2010-2005 Audi A8 Quattro
2010-2006 Audi A6
