OE Replacement: Valeo LAD5GL

The Valeo LAD5GL ballasts are original equipment found in many late-model VW, Audi, and Volvo cars with factory HID headlights. However, headlight ballasts have a limited lifespan and can be expensive to replace outside of warranty, typically costing around $400 from the dealership. The replacement ballast is designed to meet or exceed OE specifications, functioning similarly to the original at a more affordable price. To avoid future hassles, it's recommended to replace both ballasts and bulbs together, considering their rated run time of 2000 hours. Additionally, certain makes and models may use different OEM HID ballasts, so it's essential to double-check and match the part used on your specific vehicle for compatibility. umnitza has a trusted reputation for offering a wide selection of high-performance automotive and powersport lighting products at competitive prices, backed by a knowledgeable team of enthusiasts who thoroughly test the products.
