Standard Ignition HID160 High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Ballast

HID Ballast for OE-Style Lighting Repair

Standard Ignition HID160 is a high intensity discharge lighting ballast built for direct replacement service on select Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Camaro applications. It uses a plug-and-play layout with OE-matched internal circuitry to support factory-style HID performance without reprogramming.

• Heavy-duty housing protects the electronics from everyday underhood and exterior exposure
• OE-matched circuitry supports original equipment lighting behavior
• Plug-and-play design reduces setup time and eliminates reprogramming steps
• Female connector design with 2 connectors, male blade terminals, and 3 + 2 terminal layout
• DOT-certified for compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Fitment Details

• Fits 2008-2015 Cadillac CTS, N/A

This Standard Ignition HID160 ballast is used in HID headlamp systems where the original ballast has failed or lighting output has become inconsistent. It is a direct-fit electrical replacement for Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Camaro models listed above, and it cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 601-172 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• No HID headlight output on one side
• Intermittent or flickering HID lamp operation
• Ballast failure caused by heat, moisture, or age
• Factory HID system faults after component wear
• Need for an OE-style replacement without reprogramming

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the connector style, terminal layout, and vehicle application before installation. Standard Ignition HID160 is built as a plug-and-play replacement, so it is intended to connect to the existing HID system without reprogramming. Verify the ballast location and inspect related HID components, including the bulb and wiring, if the original unit failed from electrical damage or moisture intrusion.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this ballast with a durable casing around the electronics and OE-style internal circuitry to support consistent operation. The unit is DOT-certified to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
