HID-Warehouse AC 55W HID Xenon Premium Slim Ballast

SKU CH-3AP2-8J3DV

Powers 35W and 55W HID xenon bulbs with AC output, includes mounting bracket and zip ties for plug-and-play installation

  • Compatible with 35W and 55W HID bulbs for flexible upgrades
  • Works with both DC and AC HID bulb types
  • 100% plug-and-play installation requires no vehicle modifications
  • Produces three times the brightness of halogen bulbs
  • Consumes 35% less power than halogen lighting

Purpose & audience

This AC HID xenon ballast is designed for vehicle owners replacing a failed or upgraded lighting ballast in an existing HID kit. It suits drivers who want a direct plug-and-play component that works with both 35W and 55W bulbs.

Interface limits

The unit operates on AC output and accepts either DC or AC HID bulbs, so it cannot be used with halogen sockets or LED modules. A bulb must be connected for the ballast to function, and the CanBus circuitry addresses common flicker issues without additional adapters.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your current HID bulbs use the same connector style as this ballast before ordering. Confirm the vehicle’s headlight housing accepts a slim-profile ballast and that the mounting bracket can be secured in the available space.
