Another ballast thread

[Ciarandeery1]

Ok, both my ballasts have now packed in, tested them and positive that's the problem, I've read loads of threads here and still unsure what to buy. oem or aftermarket? Any solid info on what after market kit to buy? Or where etc please any info appreciated as car is out of bounds at night! Lol

I had to replace both of mine I bought non oem ones. They caused endless problems and kept throwing up error's and driving my electrical system mad. So I went oem and didn't have a problem at all. For the sake of it go oem because they will work first time. Providing there isn't something else wrong.

Honda main dealership.

The difference in price will be astronomical I can imagine for both sides compared to aftermarket.

Honestly I don't know lad mine were about €250 euro for the pair..but that was years ago and with a discount. I've no idea how much they are now I'm sure someone on here will steer you right

Your welcome lol
You will find plenty of info on here though. Personally, i'd go aftermarket. Less prone to blow, alot cheaper and also get higher K lights
