DC5 Headlight Ballasts

[tmeeyh]

Hi guys, have small problem.
To start with only one headlight was dead, so I bought bulbs which did not solve this problem. Then I checked forum and try change ballasts around which showed one was gone. Bought another one from chap from ebay. Still the same - only one was on. Got to my local garage as could not find out what is wrong and today they called saying both ballasts + this ebay one where full of water

Question - where can I get them?! Can I buy those from Evo X as they look the same...

Thanks for help

Yes thats the correct one. I'd be more worried how water has got it. The units themselves are sealed solid and then they seal again into the headlight housing. Seems odd both have water in them too and how is there other still working lol ??

The ballast is the same on the Mazda 3, Acura TSX and S2000

thanks for that.
not sure how but in one of the headlight had water as well :/
mechanic told me that one light is working but not for long time, he will dry ballasts out but this is not long term solution - if this will work anyway.
will have to buy two...

and what about ballasts from s2000?! as 2004+ models have different ballasts then older s2000...

 

[coyote_dc5]

Yes needs to be 2004 onwards I believe

Its cheaper and more reliable to buy a aftermarket HID kit...PLUS they look better imo.

Woody, how is your light-image on the MOT with the aftermarket HID kit ?
