2002 C32, and out of warranty!!! My right headlight is out for good now, and won't come back on. It was sometimes intermittent, but now it is dead. I DO NOT want to spend $587 for a new ballast/control unit. Anyone have a used one laying around they want to part with? Is there a kit to down grade to Halogen?

Any advice where I can get a reasonably priced ballast/control unit?

Anyone??? Even a used one, I don't care...

If you have the old style xenon headlights and not the bi-xenon, they some times come up for sale for less than $300 for a set. If you have the bi-xenon, I've seen singles on ebay, but it's rare. If you're tight for money and just need a set of halogens, look on ebay, I'm sure you can get a set for around $300. Good luck.

Have you tried switching the bulbs to make sure it's not the whole unit and
just the bulb?

I'm not sure what you mean? How can i use Halogens with my OLD style HID headlights? Is there a special plug/wire harness I need? I would love to go back to halogens. These control units are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

i have the same problem here, the bulb won;t light up for about 2 out of 10 times i start my car whilst the headlight switch is on auto position. My remedy is by switching the light on/off for about 10 times before the check lamp message appears, and the bulb would turn on. i was told to replace the whole headlight housing, but i suspect the problem to be electrical so it had either to be the ballasts/wiring.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I just ordered the ballasts/control units from them ($279 a pair sure beats the stealer price for just one)
