Detailed Description

The Vemo V20-73-0238 HID ballast is specified for BMW vehicles that rely on electronic control for xenon-style exterior lighting. As an OE-referenced replacement, it is sized to match the original unit and supports proper ballast-to-lamp communication in the headlight system.

This part cross-references OE number 63117263052 for the same application. If you are searching for a BMW HID ballast replacement, BMW 328i HID lighting ballast, or BMW X5 exterior lighting control module, V20-73-0238 is the catalog reference to verify against the original unit before installation.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent or non-functioning HID headlight output
• Headlight flicker caused by ballast failure
• One side not igniting at startup
• Lighting faults related to the original ballast electronics
• Restoration of proper HID system operation on covered BMW models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number on the original ballast before replacement, especially on BMW 328i, 335i, 335is, and X5 applications. Compare connector style, mounting points, and the listed dimensions of 155 mm x 115 mm x 50 mm to confirm a proper match. Because HID systems operate with high voltage, disconnect the battery and follow factory service procedures before servicing the lighting assembly.
