PSA for headlight ballast replacement.

2010 Mazda CX-9 ballasts work for 3rd gen TL.
So recently my driver side headlight stopped working. I replaced both HID bulbs and still had the problem.

A friend of mine gave me both of the ballasts he had from his 2010 Mazda CX-9., since he had just replaced his with LED headlights.

The ballasts are a direct/exact fit and work 100% with our lights. Hope this info helps anyone stuck in a pinch

What year and model though? The ballast differed over the generation

I just called him to ask and he laughed and said the ballasts were actually from a 2010 Mazda CX-9.

Can we edit my original post? Ugh just fuck me up now.

So what year TL is this compatible with? They are not the same across all years of the 3G.
