I bought a pair of hanabi 8000k h.I.d.'s not even a year ago. My left ballast blew on me twice I don't know if its bad luck or its just hanabi. Now there telling me they can't get another ballast for me . So if anybody has a ballast or maybe a website so I could get another ballast ill appreciate it . Thank you. Can I use a different brand ballast on these garbage h.I.d's..??

phllips ballast are the best.


i have had my HID kit for near 4 years now maybe even more. and i never had a problem with them.

phllip sdoes not make a 9004 kit but there is a company here in so cali that fabricates 9004 hid kits from phllips ballasts

i believe its called pacific micro lite.

did you touch the glass of the bulb when u install them? if you did, don't handle the glass part of the bulb with your hand, because your hand is oil-ish, it'll mis-conduct the current of the voltage, which will cause the bulb to blow out.

Thanks guys not to put down hanabi and the people that has them but it just ****ed me off that I bought two ballast already. I actually love these h.I.d's but I had the worst luck with them. Still driving with one h.I.d. And a super white piaa LOL.. Major difference!!

same thing happen to me. bought the hanabi 8000k over a year ago and the ballast went out appearently.. i talked to freddie and he is suppose to getting me another ballast. i already sent the money. so now im just waiting to get the ballast back to see if that fixes it. for how long is the question. i heard more than one or two three hanabi users having ballasts go out. then i read some where that freddies supplier went out of buisness.

im waiting till i get my ballast back before i post my final words about hanabis. i loved them while they worked but 150.00 a pop for a ballast that went out after the warranty sux.

I;ve had my HID for about 3 months with no problems except for the colors are a slight shade of difference on warm up. At full temp they are the same. I guess they are still in the break in period. BTW, you should wrap your ballasts in air permeable foam or something. I did that as it was recommended on the HID forum and I really think it helps keep out moisture!

My HID kit stop functioning about a week ago. I have the Korean/Taiwanese brand from Redlinemax and it should be under warranty. I contacted her but she's having trouble with HIDs in NY right now. I isolated the problem to be a bad starter. Anyone know a place that would sell replacement parts for these HID kits?

That's what I'm asking . But its not the bulb that blew its the actual ballast that went on me twice!! I live in n.y. And the guy is giving me a problem he's saying there illegal and he's not selling them anymore which is bull****!!! Well like I said b4 if anybody is selling or knows a place that sells replacements please holla back!! A guy wrote globalprimier.com but I couldn't find it. Is this correct??

Thanx adam but do you think these ballasts will work with the hanabi kit (bulbs??)..

They should work, since they look like the ones that came originally with the Hanabi kit.

Actually this ballast / ignitor should work better than the one that the kit comes with. http://www.globalpremier.com/X5_9000...ballastall.JPG

If you do touch the bulb I think you need to clean it with rubbing alcohol......
