Really good info, part selection was great even here in the uk. Been having trouble for a few days and you’ve given me all the info plus parts I need. Thank you 👍🏽
Hi all. I note that when I switch on my headlights my left headlight flicks on twice for a milli second (although dull) then it remains off and the dash warning is displayed. Any thoughts?
thanks for your video. I did my bulb replacements and I also took the whole headlight assembly out too. That's an alternative to having to open the wheelarch cover. It's smart though - the wheelarch cover :)
Hello, My audi is A4 b9 2018 and I will replace front LED headlights with new lights and balasts... complete lights. DID I NEED CODING SOMETHING? Sorry for my english. Regards
Great video, I just replaced the bulb in my 2015 A3 yet the headlight still wouldn't come on. I was getting a dash error of "Right low beam headlight / high beam headlight" The LED top light still came on exactly like in the video. Looks like I'll order a Ballast and see if that fixes that issue. The bulb I replaced was bad however so maybe it burnt out because the ballast was jacked up.
I just replaced my headlight bulb and it works sometimes, then sometimes it doesn’t. Does this mean that the ballast is the issue? I have a 2013 Audi A4.
@@SidhuDIY I’m thinking it’s the ballast bc sometimes it comes on but sometimes it doesn’t. It either comes on after I switch the headlights off and on or it might come on mid drive when I hit a bump. However, it doesn’t go off mid drive once it comes on. Whole hour long drive it will stay on. I ordered a new ballast let’s pray that’s the issue 🙏
@@mikekarpouziehi bro .. i am having the same exactly issue can you please let me know if you were able to fix and was it the ballast? Because i had changed ballast on the right side but now both sides comes on and off one at a time
@@zigzaga3100 bro that happened to me too. I changed the drivers side bulb bc that was the one that was out, and then it worked, then it stopped. So then I changed the ballast, and then it worked again and then it stopped. I figured maybe it wasn’t the bulb or the ballast and that it was a wiring issue and when I was changing shit and moving shit around, maybe that’s what made it come back on. So I reached in and moved the wires around and then both lights came back on. But then both would go out and I would have to pull over at night and wiggle the wires around for it to come back on 😂 but then only the drivers side would come back on. I gave up and took that shit to the mechanic and they said it was lose wires and also bad bulbs. So now it’s fixed for now but yeah I gave up 😂
It's very easy to remove, I wish I should have shown in the video. The reason I didn't show because I see many Negative comments previously on my other videos that why I am wasting time by showing unnecessarily things and I should show only the things which need to be done. Personally, I like to show in detail so that it makes life much easier and simpler. Thanks for asking and I will start details in coming next videos. Thanks for watching.🙏🙌
Hi, is a ballast the same as a light control module? I need a new Light Control Module and when I'm searching online all the descriptions include Ballast and Light Control Module in the descriptions so just double checking.
QUESTION - the LED eyebrow strip has gone out. I purchased a new assembly, but the new one does not come with ballast. My question is why did the LED go out? The assembly did have a water problem and fog problem. Is the LED out due to a bad ballast?
Led can go bad due to many reasons, in my case water went into ballast and cause a short and burned the ballast as you have seen in the video was rusted so after replacing the bad ballast it worked. Thanks for watching.🙏🙌

Just attempted this and could not get the new ballast plugged in for the life of me. Specifically that shorter plug. It's like Audi purposely made it that short so you'd have to take it to them. Taking it to a friend tomorrow who works at an auto shop to wrap up the installation and hope it works. Thanks for the tutorial though!
Thanks for sharing the info. I know it's tough but it can be done as I have replaced it. I did share a tip on how it can be done, just rotate it then you can plug in the wire plugs. Thank you so much for the like and thanks for watching.🙏🙌

@@SidhuDIY Hi, sorry for casing you. But I mean right side ballast. Is it so easy to??? "Cose my enginere sad that you're gonna have to take off the bumper and the headlight". Is it true?
I think you need to remove the headlight assembly, please give me some time and I will look into it how we can do it in an easy way. Will keep you posted.
You don’t have to takeoff the bumper. You do have to take out the air filter assembly which is pretty easy. Then put a mirror down below so you can see the ballast from there.
Thanks, great simple video. How do you know if you need to replace the ballast or the bulb? My warning says “left adaptive headlight/main beam headlight”. Thanks.
You always can swap the bulbs and see if they are working or not, if it's working then your ballast is gone bad. I hope it helps, good luck with your DIY project. Thank you so much for the like and thanks for watching.🙏🙌
Does the ballast also power the daytime running lights? I’ve had condensation in my passenger side headlight since I tried to replace the adaptive D3S bulb. Now the only thing that works is the driver side headlight. I get dash outage warnings for both of the DRL, right front turn signal and left and right main beam. Any ideas?

How To Replace Headlight Ballast on Audi

nice job..have you replaced the power module for the headlights? passenger side. can't seem to find its location

I’ve read that there’s serious high-voltage in the ballast! That’s why they recommend to not take it apart.
Really?
Are the ballast compatible with both, driver and passenger side?
Yes, thanks for watching. - amzn.to/3VrmWsW

@@lugomiguel6599yeah it was the ballast that was bad
@@Veersaokay thank you im gonna do that next replaced the bulb and tried two different hid bulbs “different brands” and still nothing

If your headlight bulb is working intermittently, it could be a loose connection or your ballast is starting to fail. Thanks for watching!
