Do i really need to remove the headlights to replace the driver side ballast? Looks like mite be shot, the light is dim (looks like a halogen bulb) and wouldnt turn on at times.

 

Yes you really have to remove the headlight.

 

is the ballast beneath or in the housing of the headlight?

 

Its underneath the headlight

 

It's a PITA to get out, but there's a way to replace your ballast without cutting up or messing up your headlights... There's a video on how to do it... I will see if I can find it and post it

 

Where you able to find the video?
I bought the ballasts. Just going through the easiest option to remove and install it.

 

What year is your car?

2006 is350

 

Anyone know a good place to get the ballast online?

TIA!

 

I just went thru this same process 3 weeks ago. I actually purchase a ballast off ebay. The custom led light shop only replace my prong since I told them the aftermarket bulb fried it.

Word of advice to everyone don't put those cheap led lights in your car. A 12 dollar bulb cost me over 450 dollars in the end.

 

Well said!

 

I just replaced mine last week and it really isn't that bad to do. You have to take the bumper off then take the headlight out. Like previously stated you can remove the ballast wires without taking apart the headlight. At the end of the wire is a silver shield that has to be removed, than take apart the black casing and pull the connectors out.

 

What LED bulb was it? and which bulb? city? parking? DRL?
