It does not have a regular balast. It uses an Electronic module under the cover.

How do I received warranty replacement and long is the warranty on the ballast?

You will have to go to a indoor plant store and buy an adapter. The cheap bastards don't include one in the box. If you buy the ballast at an indoor plant store the adapter is included. They cost about eight dollars and I hope this helps.

It uses the 12v power wires that go to the old ballast. Very easy to install, excellent quality of light and much brighter than the original bulbs. Once the wires are hooked up, the housing tube clips right into the receptacle.

My light recently stopped working after 2.5 years of daily use. I replaced the bulbs but that did not work. Usually this is a sign that the ballast needs replacing. I can't find it however even after removing the ends and looking down the tube. Before I take it apart any further I'd like to know if anyone else has done this repair successfully. I contacted Hydrofarm. I have not yet heard back. Here is there support page: https://www.hydrofarm.com/support

No you won't. The ballast is like a fuse. If anything will fry it will be the ballast.

Yes, for me it fixed the problem of the lights going out. No need to replace the ballasts. Good luck!

Hamhock is correct; not to be found in your average retail store at all. Also, if possible before ordering- make sure it is the bulb you need and not the ballast! I bought two bulbs only to find out later it was the ballast which had failed, argh!

The kit comes with bulbs and ballasts. You will need to take out the existing bulbs and replace them with the ones from the kit. The plug that went into the old bulb then plugs into the ballast. From there, there are two plugs from the ballast that plug into the bulb. I know this sounds confusing, but its really easy.

Yes it will work but ballast won't last as long I lost a digital ballast never used them again

There is a diagram on the ballast that shows just how to install it. There are fewer wires to connect than an old-school ballast. Just follow the diagram and trust it it has never lead me a-stray.

No. You do not need a ballast for this. Only for the high-powered sodium lights.

One ballast. You will need to purchase two (one for each bulb) It's worth it, they work as well as oem. Try to fit some lenses as well, for a nice clean beam cut-off.

I know you need an H11 bulb. Other than that the bulb comes in different colors, your choice. The ballast is more critical. I would look for one that has what is called CanBus, I think it's called. This prevents warning lights on your dashboard. If not you will need something that plugs in between the ballast and the harness to help prevent the warning lights. I cannot borrow it down to give you certain models due to never actually installing into that specific car and testing to verify or confirm issues or the lack of.

Yes...You do need a ballast. One each side for each bulb. I ordered the Xenex ballasts. They come in a pair. Seem to be working fine.

Steve, I really don't know. Always a pain to identify the right one. Seems like every Fluorescent fixture in the house uses a different ballast.
