Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses LED lights and a 9-pin connector before installation. Confirm connector count, terminal layout, and mounting location against the original unit. The ballast is supplied without a wiring harness or installation hardware, so reuse the existing vehicle connections and mounting points where applicable. Always compare the original part number and connector style to Dorman 601-174 before replacement.
