HID Powerpack

[DP.]

Does anyone know where I can get a HID powerpack from?

main dealer, ouch !!!, japanparts .com, lots of links around on the forum,
or try the the google thing, my neighbour fitted a full kit, lamps etc powerpacks to his lexus for about £300 so perhaps the company sell the packs separately, sorry he is away in Florida otherwise i would ask,

 

[DP.]

well... i wonder how long it would take the main dealer to get the part?

No sign on japanparts dot com

will see what links there are and look through them

You never guess what.... i left the power pack (hid ballast) in front of the fire overnight - put everything back togethet today and its all working now

I dont know for how long tho so i'll still purchase a spare if anyone has one just in case

hey dp. would you advise me to leave my power pack in front off the fire or get a new one this is a head wrecker
and a lot off money for bulbs ect. :?

 

[DP.]

its definately worth a go mate... i guess these things are suspect to getting damp when our cars are been stored / shipped.

Are you 100% certain it is the powepack/ballast? I tried swapping everything around on mine and tried every combination of bulbs and packs to be sure of what was and what wasn't working.

As truffs also mentioned to me... the metal casings for these are only crimped together - they are not actually a sealed unit! I am just wondering whether its a good or bad idea to get some kind of sealant on them ? However i am guessing they may get quite warm when stepping up the voltage to 400 or so volts :shock:

cheers dp.

[mugen chip]

took out the headlight and all the condinsation that turned to water came pissin out left the ballast to dry and the head lamp and the water that was left in the lamp turned brown in the drying process and the ballast is ###### and i cant clear out the brown so i need a new passenger side lamp plus ballast so if anyone has a spare passenger side lamp + ballast or knows where to get one it would b a great help
