HID Ballast bench testing

BMW 328 F30 headlight conversion from Pro Tuning Labs. Originally had the HID kit with 55watt ballasts. About 7 months in one side went out. Ballast was bad.

That black box coming off the blast is the igniter

thanks for the info.

Very helpful, thanks for posting, I was hoping to see how the H7 bulb goes into the plug. Also, what do you think of installing LED instead of H7?

[@danielsutter7528]

The plug at the beginning shows the H7 fitting and it would just plug right into the back of the bulb.

the LEDs dont last long(my LHS LED died after 6K miles ), not sure if its a good or a bad product to last for a year for the price.

Does my car need a ballast. Can I bypass it

Hey Daniel thank you very much for these headlight videos. I was just about to buy the exact same smoke lens black housing headlight from eBay for $393 and I was a bit skeptical but after watching your video make it clear for me to order it. Thanks man. By the way, do you have an Instagram I can follow so I can shoot you dm if I have any questions if you don't mind? Thanks again

[@mthompson4519]

Do you recommend these headlights

[@Demosthenes409]

What's that appliance called?

this is why you don't try to reengineer a perfectly good automobile with aftermarket parts.. leave it to the real engineers..
