SupraStar 3000 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi guys, A HID ballast has blown on my car and I need a replacement. It was bought on a group buy from Knightracer, a few years ago. The kit is 9k 9000HID On the ballast it reads: V in 9v - 16v V from 12v I norm 3.5a I max 5.6a P out 35w +1w T case -40c +105c Need a replacement, but can't find anything on ebay with a similar spec. Emailed Knight Racer, but no response so far. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Ed. If you don't get anything sorted, I will be home on Monday evening. I ripped out my HID's and ballasts for my fog lights last year and they are still sat at home. If they of the same spec, you can have them for free.* (*Free is subject to sexual favour at the previous owners discretion.

This offer does not affect your statutory right to drive in the dark with only one light on, like a prick, or a motorbike for that matter. H.

SupraStar 3000 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 You're a little beauty H. I'd like to smother you in jam and chocolate sauce, pop a extra big cheery on your head and slowly devour you. Awesome mate. Just like your man sausage, that is mightily generous. I will, of course, oblige in any sexual depravity you wish. Thanks mate. I'll pm you on monday, if nothing else is sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 When one of mine blew, i found it cost wise better to buy a complete kit again I got mine through Knight Rcaer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Knight Racer only supply the new style HIDs (approx £50) with the smaller Ballast, which isn't guaranteed to work with my current set-up. Having made some nice Ballast holders for the car, I not going to start again with new HIDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Other than sexual favours, can anyone else shed some light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I wouldn't worry about the Ballast being the exact, as long as the voltage is higher than your output for you bulbs you be fine. The HID bulbs connectors will more or less plug in every other ballast out there. If you have no luck, let me know because I have always have spares (Ballast and bulbs) Oh just a note, I prefer Hilton Hotels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 NOW,.. thats exactly what I wanted to hear mate. Now I stand a chance at finding a replacement on ebay. Much appreciated dude. Single room booked at the Hilton. Hope you don't mind sharing a room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgeer Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 As above, most ballasts are compatable as long as voltage is same or above your original as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Would this work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Replacement-Canbus-Free-12v-35w-HID-Ballast-No-OBC-errors-/221158164538?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item337e0dc83a or this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35W-Car-HID-Xenon-Replacement-Super-Slim-12v-35w-HID-Ballast-/261270393649?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cd4edd331 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The connection looks the same, so it should work. Just make sure your bulbs output is less than the ballast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've had a few, they are all pretty much the same, just different packaging and labeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
