I have to buy a replacement ballast. If one of my ballast is DC ballast, will the AC ballast work as the second ballast?

the reason for the ballast is to convert DC into AC. So if you're replacing one, as long as it's for a 35w hid bulb, it'll work perfectly.

Dear buyer:Thanks for asking .55W AC ballast will brighter than 35W ballast.And 55W quality, stability are better.Thank youSean

Yes, but the question of the day is...... Will the ballast be bad as 6 of 10 fixtures that I received did not work! I spent another $160 on ballast......

Never had that happen before, and I ran it for 18 hours a day for a month. I would get a new one just to be safe. And if the problem continues make sure everything is okay with your ballast. It really isn't risking it with the amount of voltage these things run at.

I had the same problem and now cannot find a replacement ballast, not sure what else it is. Electrician installed so I keep trying to see if a recall on ballast.

No. It might work for a second but the ballast regulates the surge. Plus the plug shouldn't be the same. You could present a severe fire hazard

You need to order the ballast that has the correct bulb socket the bulb plugs into

yes, but you will need to rewire them and remove the ballast. Also to be on the safe side order the new connectors with them. These bulbs are only powered from one end. Make sure to get the bright and not the warm if want a good amount of light. I am very happy with mine but had to return my first order and get the brighter one directly from the vender.

Swap the ballast to the other side. If the problem follows the ballast. Then the ballast is bad. Be sure ALL the connections are good including the battery connection.

Both of the ones that I ordered did the same thing. The light did work though. You could have a bad ballast or even a light switch.

I would have to agree with DB ,the current ballast would not start the 250 watt ed28

I believe you are asking; "do these lamps need the ballast"? The answer is no. The instructions provided tell you to bypass the ballast. That will apply 120 VAC to one end of the lamp and the neutral wire is applied to the other end. Wire Nuts are provided to help with making the connections. One more very important item is: TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE FIXTURE while making wiring changes. Thank you for your support, Nature's Electric Inc.

The ballast are universal but the bulbs have different types. You would have to check the vehicles Manuel to find out what would be the correct type bulb.

Yes. If you bypass the ballast in a single tube fixture the light will work.

You'd have to check the ratings on the ballast but as long as it's 240 Volts and below 16 amps it should be fine.

It should either work correctly or not at all. If you have access to an old-style magnetic ballast fluorescent light, point it at the light and take a reading (light on, of course). You should get a reading of 7200 rpm - the light actually turns on and off twice with each cycle of the AC power, so 2 times 60 cycles per second times 60 seconds is 7200. This may also work with mercury and sodium vapor lights, but it will not work with more modern lights with electronic ballasts.
