Icon3 Retrofit HID ballast wire meltdown!

well i need a solution here from you guys, tonight while coming home, my ballast somehow managed to get off its position, screw came off :S, and the ballast ended up being stuck in my block, it burned the POWER wire for the ballast and that wire looks unreplaceable.

do i need to pick up new ballast?

any other solution than buying new ballasts?

You are talking about the igniter wire correct?

That is really just one power wire with either one or two ground wires.

You can solder it together, but to be on the safe side pick up another ballast.


What ballast did you use. We carry tons of parts, and I can certaintly send you just one ballast.
