  • Loss of proper low-beam HID function on equipped vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original ballast part number, connector style, and mounting style before ordering. This unit uses a blade terminal layout, two connectors, and no wiring harness, so transfer and routing should match the vehicle’s factory configuration. Confirm the vehicle’s HID system uses the specified D1S bulb application where noted in the fitment data. Part Number 601-171 is commonly searched for BMW 328i, BMW X5, and Audi TT HID headlight repair.
