Ballast

Hi James,
firstly, it's just a "ballast" there is no sutch thing as a "ballast resistor"

the ballast is built in to the headlamp unit, i dont know why you want to know this, i can only assume you have been offered some xenon headlamp units and want to check that they are actually xenon's.

i am sure you can do this by the part numbers, i dont know the part numbers, but i am betting some one here will. Or you could just try plugging them in and turning them on. I only takes about 2 mins per lamp to change them.

Xenons have a 3 to 4 inch "fish eye" type glass lens at the front ....conventional units just have the lamp "bulb" on view
