sambo28 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I need the passenger side ballast replacing on my GTi and was just wondering if one from a drivers side light would fit? I had a search and couldn't find any part numbers for either side so any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

CLAYTONJONES Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't think they can be bought separately mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambo28 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I've found someone with a spare drivers side headlight for sale, I was just hoping I could buy that and use the ballast from that with my passenger side light. That probably explains it a bit better, so will the drivers side ballast work with my passenger side headlight? ie. are the drivers side and passenger side ballasts identical and interchangeable?

I'll get this drivers side headlight bought then, whip the ballast out and get it fitted fo my passenger side headlight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLAYTONJONES Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 You have to swap the igniters aswell as they are wired into the ballast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
