The Valeo LAD5GL ballasts serve as original equipment for modern VW, Audi, and Volvo cars with HID headlights. Replacing these ballasts beyond warranty can be expensive, typically costing around $400. A more affordable alternative is offered, meeting OE specifications and functioning similarly to the original. Replacing both ballasts and bulbs is recommended due to their 2000-hour run time, while vehicle owners should verify compatibility with their specific make and model. umnitza boasts a trusted reputation in the automotive industry, offering a wide selection of high-performance lighting products and expert assistance for customers' needs.
