Ballasts - Which Ones?

FastTimesAtFGHigh · 01-29-2008, 10:29 PM

I'm hoping Bjorn or any of the HID experts can answer this. What type of Ballasts are acceptable for the retrofit? How can you tell if the Ballast is D2S/D2R (OEM ballasts)?

How can you tell if they are Slim Denso or Matsushita Gen 3? Long Cord?

Is this fine?

that's what i currently have running for my retros.. remember to mount them where it's water-resistent. oem honda/acura ballasts don't like water at all! if it's wet.. just shake it off and wait for it to dry and use it again.
