One of the xenon lights on my car keeps going out and then there is an annoying flashing warning light on for the rest of the journey.
A bit of research led me to a faulty ballast control unit screwed to the light.
Wanting to be sure I got the correct item I made enquiries at the main dealer, their price was £560!
None in the UK and doubts about any available in Germany.

A certain auction site sorted me out for £25 with free postage.

I'm guessing £25 is second hand?

Used parts (with unknown history and limited/no warranty) cheaper than brand new bits with a full guarantee shouldn't be a huge shock should it?!

Plenty of generic ballasts available, in my experience they work absolutely fine (fitted at least half a dozen of them).

Audi prices are insulting.
