      Well he doesn’t have the big oil cooler in the way like most n54s. If you have the oil cooler your not getting to the ballast without taking the bumper off

    Can you verify the cable orientation for the driver side? My driver side is the one im replacing, however, the actual housing for the ballast will not fit the wires in this formation.

    IzzyE9X: Great video. Is the ballast really that easy to get to on the driver’s side too? Because I’ve been told the bumper needs to be removed. I have a 2009 E92 M3 that needs a driver’s side ballast.

  • @redirectivegsi
    @redirectivegsi ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice video bro!!
    Question:
    Does a Ballast effect the brightness of the bulb... so if there on there way out and getting old with they be less brighter and will new ballast be nice and bright? My E92 is 2008 which us fairly old and I just dont find the lights very bright nor reach very far ... so im thinking of replacing with new bulbs n ballasts
    Cheers

    • @IzzyE9X
      @IzzyE9X  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’m fairly certain the new ballasts due affect light output! I did a trial and used two new bulbs and only one new ballast and noticed one light was more yellow than the one with the new ballast as well

  • @SLIMHARDAWAY543
    @SLIMHARDAWAY543 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’ve used this same ballast , changed mine about sep 2021 && April 2022 my headlight is out again. I have a back up ballast so we’re going to see if these Amazon parts are worth it.

    • @IzzyE9X
      @IzzyE9X  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmm, maybe an underlying issue or just bad luck? I’ve had mine in the car for about 2 years now and it’s still working perfectly fine

    I have to mention that my wiring was a mess
    All the cables were cooked so I’ve isolated them
    Now I’m going to test
    If it works
    Well great
    Otherwise new balast module
    Thx for the video❤

  • @empresanc959
    @empresanc959 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Any problems so far? if you watch Raymond Urias's video on his ballast replacement he mentions how the aftermarket ones melted and failed due to rubber connectors instead of plastic ones. Upon reading the reviews on this AA ignition ballast, it doesn't seem like there is any melting issues. I also don't understand why the amazon description of them say they're not compatible with my 2011 e92 m3 if it says it replaces the same part number that my m3 uses.

    • @IzzyE9X
      @IzzyE9X  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Should still be the same exact ballast for the M3

    • @IzzyE9X
      @IzzyE9X  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is correct it is not an H8 bulb. If you go to 1:32 in the video, you’ll see where a circular little area with some metal inside, that is supposed to be where the angel eye bulb cover goes. The bulb simply twists out

      I didn’t notice any noise but that could be from the bulbs/ballasts shorting or from the automatic headlights angling themselves

    • @IzzyE9X
      @IzzyE9X  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That would be the halo bulbs or the fuse, the ballast controls the headlight high and low beams. The halo bulbs are separate

      @mrlambo2972 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@IzzyE9X So I coded the DRL and Cold and warm test off and no more flickering during the day. So when I power on headlights by pressing Fog lights botton turns on everything well. Headlights low and highs, fogs work great but angel eyes flicker constantly. I have a bmw 2011 328i coupe and i wonder where the angel bulbs are? I opened the housing from above and there is bulb in the middle and the angel eyes clear tube goes toward the bottom of the headlight housing.

    Are you working on a E92? Why are people in other videos of e90,92s removing the front bumper to do this job? I have a 2009 e92 328i and I would love to replace the ballast without removing the front bumper. Thanks.

    • @IzzyE9X
      @IzzyE9X  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is an E92, I see no situation where you’d need to remove the bumper! to remove the whole headlight assembly you will need to, but definitely not the ballast

    • @Ringmaster30
      @Ringmaster30 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the reply. After reading some comments I think the other videos that show bumper removal to change the ballast the cars being worked on are 335s and there was mention of an oil cooler being in the way of doing the job from the wheel well.

    • @IzzyE9X

      If the ballast is new and the turn signal, the halo and the high beams all work but the headlight bulb doesn’t it’s most likely the headlight bulb or fuse.
