Ok I have a 2005 new beetle that has the factory hid headlights it seems my ballast is bad and the dealer ship wants 600 bucks for a new one can anyone tell me what my options are
I actually have a set of oem HID in one of my bugs. Worlds better than the Bosch halogen. I can actually see at night. Have had them in for 6 years and still work fine. Don’t know how long they will last so we shall see.I'd buy a new MM assembly for $800 before I'd buy a ballast for $600.
But before I'd do that I'd just put some Bosch halogens in there. The only NBs I have ever seen cursed with OEM HIDs are some Turbo S models, and even at that it was an option. You have a TDI NB with them?
