So about a month ago one of my projectors turned pink and then finally wouldn't come on at all. So i buy new bulbs for the projectors ($117), replace those and bam we're good.

Now, drivers side flickers for about 8 seconds then shuts off. Used to stay on, but usually now it just flickers then goes off.

I'm thinking ballast? I really don't want to buy OEM because price is insane. Would a used one off eBay be alright? Really need help with this one. Thanks.

 

 

The ballast is done...

Yes! I got one for a Lexus on eBay two years ago... To my knowledge, it's been fine ever since...

I paid $100.... It works just fine now...

Make sure that you get an OEM part, DO NOT get a Xentec ballast...

Get whatever Acura uses, maybe Denso...

If you can, match the part number.... Or compare yours to the one on eBay...

This is a good way to get parts... At least I think!!!

In my experience, bulbs outlast ballast, haha!!!

Best of luck, you know what to do!!!

 

judging by your car you I think you can figure this out lol

 

buy a used OEM ballast on ebay

 

what happens if it was BOUGHT not BUILT ?

OP, you'll need to trouble shoot the ballast and igniter by swapping it to the other side. if flickering follows the suspected ballast, then you know for CERTAIN that it is the ballast. That way you dont end up wasting time and money by part replacing without knowing which item is the culprit

 

throwing parts at it is definitely easier... just buy a ballast and igniter online

 

I bought my car completely stock almost a year ago. I'll make a build thread. I just hate having to deal with here headlights as much as I have now. But thanks y'all. I'll order a ballast off eBay👍🏻

 

whew! glad we didnt have to hold your hand on that one

 

I have a ballast and igniter forsale in the BlackMarket, PM if you haven't purchased one yet! OEM TOO!

 

It's defianlty worth it to just get a new oem ballast, save yourself the hasel and time of probably have a used one go out again.
