Thanks. I’m making some calls today. These ballasts are impossible to find.

talked to a very knowledgable guy a few minutes ago. after send him pic he said there is no way to fix that due to when it blew, 12 volts wen through the whole board and most likely took out more than just what I can see.

the search continues

I gave up looking and I'm not looking for Porsche to rob me so I opted for Mercedes units - apart from the constant warning light they work for me and cost me $100 a piece.

any programming needed?

I have one more option. A new headlight assembly has been on order from when I bought the car last month. It is still on back order and comes with the ballast. I’m going to have the dealer cancel that order and buy me two new V.03 ballasts for 1100 instead of the 2400 dollar headlight assembly.

There is no ship date in the horizon for the headlight so I may go this route today.

I agree, have not had much luck with the aftermarket valeo xenon control units
