Yes, I'd buy a pair of new ballasts. This is probably a given, but make sure the wattage and any other specs match the previous ballasts. Wouldn't hurt to go with a reputable brand rather than an ebay shop, but that's your call

AC ballasts lasts longer, better components. Of course you can buy the more expensive kits, but you pay more like for philips or opt7 but you pay more for branding and maybe last a little bit longer than regular AC kits. honestly depending on a lot of conditions like your cars electrical system, maybe climate, components build, handling, you can never tell, I've seen generic last 8 years at least I've seen it last even couple months. Again those were DC ballasts. I would say AC last longer in average/general. again anything can have defects so you never know thats why theres warranty. other things that might help if you have a bigger budget is the canbus systems supposedly for anti-error, or the relay harness to help with the power and ground. it really depends. in our 6gc, just the standard AC hid kits work well. Some cars will flicker, winking, or have difficulty turning on with the DC kits. I've tried perhaps and installed at least 30 kits of different brands and types on different cars.

When you say buy in pairs? I'm thinking you mean a complete kit or do you mean lows and fogs?

I'm pretty sure he means buying left/right counterpart ballasts. Like if he needs the left low beam ballast, he should also buy a new right low beam ballast. Like buying new tires.

Sorry, when I said pairs I meant left and right headlights.

Not headlights/fogs.

I had Griffgirls for 8 years and worked just fine...

anyone have any affordable suggestions?


I had the 10,000k all white. I can not find 10,000k at the moment tho. Only 6,000k white.

I want no color tint in my bulbs.

are 10,000k illegal now? or am I not looking hard enough?

with day light savings into effect now I need headlights asap! kindasad.gif
