Recently had to fix what seems to be a fairly common condensation issue which, thanks to covid and not driving as much, I didn't notice for a while and it killed my O/S xenon.
Now got the whole thing dried out and confirmed by swapping parts over to the other side that everything other than the ballast works (which had an impressive amount of water sat in it!). Bought a new one for about £35 from Hids Direct that had the same ratings and part numbers on it, which lasted all of 10 seconds before going. Meanwhile when I swap the ballast from the other lamp over it works fine, so seems to just be this component.
Dealer near me quoted £306 to buy it new from them, which makes me feel a little ill, so was wondering if anyone had a good link for where to reliably get one please?
