Xenon headlight ballast fault
What are the typical symptoms of a failing ballast? My headlight will ignite, and the beam will come on as normal, but will shut off after a few minutes. Bad ballast?
TIA

I hope so, because I just bought 2 new ballasts (the seals around my headlamps were worn and water got back there and rusted the ballast cases). I have the exact some symptom on one of my lamps.

I just had the same exact issue you are describing last week. I bought a used ballast off ebay for $80 (it was actually an audi part number even though the listing had the porsche part number listed). I just installed it and it fixed my issue and my low beams stay on now.

Retrofitlab has a bi-Xenon kit that includes ballasts. It is really meant for upgrading the haolgen headlights, but I used it on my 996.2 Litromnics and it works flawlessly. www.retrofitlab.us
80 bucks??! If anyone needs a ballast I can give you a much better price. I retrofit these for customers and I'm accumulating lots of old parts!

Hello playswithcars. THe post is a couple of years old, but I need 1 ballast for a 996.2 litronics.
If you have one to sell, can you give me a price to ship to 30542?
Feel free to p.m.
I did the retrofitlab upgrade too and love it but got a bad bulb or installed it wrong and burned the connector.
Thanks,
