so my vrd ballast have been out
for quite a while but never got
around to calling them being
the procrostinator that i am. . .

well, i finally did and ask
them how much are the ballast
separately? their response was
that they dont sell them individaully
but have to buy the vrd fog set AGAIN!

does anyone else make the ballast
besides vrd? are you selling one?

 

The VRD fogs don't come with ballasts. They come with regular halogen h3 bulbs which do not need a ballast to run. Sounds like you have an HID kit in the VRD fogs, in which case you would just need to contact the person of whom you bought the HID kit from to see if they can sell you a replacement ballast.

You don't need to buy a whole new set of VRD fogs. lol

 

ya not really sure what you are talking about

 

x2 listen to him but u dnt even need to go to the company for the HID's most ballast are built the same..so u can ask any of the HID seller's on here for the prices for their ballast

 

sorry for insufficient information
am kinda not supposed to be online
during class haha but whatever. . .

yeah, i had bought the vrd fogs with yellow hid's from
their ebay store a while back (June lol)

ever since i had installed them, 1 hid would flicker,
i checked everything (hid bulb, relay harness, fuses,
wire meltdown, i even switch the bulbs to the other ballast just to make sure, etc.)
and everything seemd fine so i came to the conclusion
that i had a defective ballast. then the other went out on me too

(im trying to make this long story short )

i never called or emailed untill today. . .since its been a long while ago,
i cant return them. . .so i called to purchase 2 replacement ballasts and
they basically told me. . .in these EXACT words (or atleast close to). . .
"we dont sell the ballast separatly. you have to buy another set."

i then asked if anyone else makes them and
was told that he wasnt sure.


(i have a set of extra ballast for my headlights and obviously
wont fit for my fogs. . .)

so back to my question:
who has an extra pair of vrd ballasts for sell?
or where else to buy?

 

VRD knockoffs maybe?

 

almost forgot. . .
thx SWTCKID!! ima try to find a company
who can sell me a set.

i'll let u guys know which does. . .

 

never heard of VRD HID's

contact the seller that u bought it from?

 

easiest thing will be to buy new HIDs with new ballasts (hopefully with a relay harness!) and go along your way. Its sad to see that VRD wont take care of you (even though we don't know the full story) and that the ballasts are only available in the set (which is odd since VRD themselves don't list a model on their website with HIDs)

I say go with MobileHIDs, contact cliff directly, and tell him equinox2355 from SL sent you, and he will take good care of you!

 

i have the VRD ballasts, sell em to you for 60 bucks..i didnt like em, so i pulled them out. , had the same prob as you..dunno if it was defective ballast or the ballast need a higher voltage spike, but i had to turn the lights on 2-3 times before they both stayed on..... pm me. 60 bucks shipped

 

LOL. How about you buy another set, and sell me your old ones. LOL. =P

 

mobilehid.com and 3bspec.com both sell ballasts separately.

 

thx howiedds, but if u had the same problem i did,
id rather pass up on that offer. thx anyway!

i just sent an email to mobilehid and 3bspec
just to make sure that they would fit the vrd fogs. . .
let u guys know when they respond.

(btw. . .mobilehid has their ballast for $60
and 3bspec has them for $40)

(thx for the input for such a n00b ?)

 

seriously 3bspec is the way to go! Call hahn and tell him mike from elevation audio sent you! he will take great care of you, and offer overnight shipping!

 

ill give em to you for free...lol i woulda just gave em to you if you pmed me..i have mobile hids in them now, seriously get them....

 

just got the ballast HOWIEDDS sent on monday!

i installed them on tuesday, and like he warned,
i have to turn the fogs on a couple of times before
they would both stay on (as my old set did too)
. . .wut im guessing is MAYBE vrd dont have good
ballasts. . . .MAYBE! (based on my experience
as well as howiedds)

if these ballast fail too, i guess ima go with mobilehid. . .

post pix wen i get to wash my vroom VROOM!

People are trying to help you. READ!

VRD fogs do NOT come with HIDS. If yours did, you must have bought them from someone on ebay, who put them in. This is not VRD's fault. This is the fault of the person who you bought them from, for using a bad quality brand. You should not have to turn the lights on and off several times to get them to work. buy a quality set like mobilehid or 3bspec.

 

yeah... they don't come with HID's unless their used and from someone else. Now go buy some h3 bulbs and call it a day.

 

the ballast brand was made by RStype/RType or something...not branded VRD. Crap ballasts IMHO. HID in VRDS blind like crazy...but oh wellz. i love using them for DRL.... I keep them on always and when i remote start, it lights the street up when i walk towards my car...
