The Bosch/AL Model 7317408 ballasts are original equipment used in many modern BMW vehicles with factory HID headlights. However, headlight ballasts, like most car parts, have a limited lifespan and can be costly to replace outside of warranty. This replacement ballast is designed to meet or exceed OE specifications, providing comparable performance at a fraction of the dealership price. It is advisable to replace all ballasts and bulbs together to avoid potential issues, and customers should double-check and match the part to their specific vehicle for compatibility. umnitza has built a trusted reputation over a decade for offering a top-notch selection of high-performance automotive and powersport lighting products at competitive prices, with a knowledgeable team of real enthusiasts to support their customers.
