Help! W211 Xenon Ballast replacement

[Indie Chana]

Hi all.

I'm having trouble trying to get my passenger side xenon to work. A garage told me its most likely the ballast/control unit that needs changing.

I really need some advice. I managed to locate the ballast under the bumper(1st Picture attached). Is this just the ballast or the control unit as I don't know if they are different things or is this both as one unit?

I have found a after market one online (2nd picture attached) and I want to know if they are the same and it will be compatible.

Any advice and help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

A211 xxx xxx xxx should be the same, or then check EPC what is newer part.

Which xenons you have? I have D2S/D2R and they have separate ignition unit on bulb too, which may fail.

Hi

I have D1S bulbs. Do they have separate ignition unit on the bulb?

D1S ingintion is fixed on bulb. Then it must be a ballast unit, if bulb and wires are ruled out.

A year and a half ago - wondering how you got on with this?
Did you go with the aftermarket ballast unit?
- Believe it would need to be SCN coded.
