Dorman - OE Solutions High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Ballast P/N:601-063
Supply the high-voltage start and steady power your HID headlight bulb depends on with the Dorman xenon lighting ballast, part number 601-050, a Xenon / High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Ballast designed to fit and perform like the original HID ballast. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2010 Volkswagen Jetta, 2011-2019 Mercedes-Benz C180 and 2010-2019 Mercedes-Benz C200. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A ballast converts the vehicle's electrical supply into the high voltage needed to ignite the HID bulb, then regulates the current that keeps it lit. If a failed ballast is the reason your headlight flickers, cuts out or won't come on, this unit replaces it.
This part is listed under both names: xenon lighting ballast and High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting ballast.

What does a xenon / HID lighting ballast do?
It supplies the high voltage needed to ignite the HID headlight bulb, then regulates the power that keeps it lit. Dorman 601-050 is designed to fit and perform like the original HID ballast.
Will this ballast fit my 2005-2010 Volkswagen Jetta?
Yes, the 2005-2010 Volkswagen Jetta is a listed application, as are the 2011-2019 Mercedes-Benz C180 and 2010-2019 Mercedes-Benz C200. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact vehicle.
What are signs an HID ballast may need replacing?
A headlight that flickers, cuts out or won't light may indicate a failed ballast, but a worn bulb or a wiring fault can cause the same signs, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
What kind of failure is this ballast intended to replace?
Dorman designed it as a replacement for an original HID ballast that has failed due to a voltage surge in the vehicle's electrical system.
Is the Dorman 601-050 a direct replacement?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. HID lighting systems carry high voltage, so disconnect power and follow the vehicle's service information when installing.
