Oem Hid Ballast Location

[ahmed24]

Does anyone know where the HID ballasts are located for OEM HID's? is it anywhere near the front bumper and if my front bumper was removed would the ballast be visible? reason I ask is I had my car in at the dealership's bodyshop and they had to take front bumper out for respray but since i got it back my lights are playing up. They just turn off after a few seconds. They say they didnt have to open the headlight as the bumper just comes out.

So i am wondering if the ballast is near the bumper they could have maybe made a ballast connection lose or something.

any comments would be appreciated.

thanks

Hi Ahmed, I know this is off topic but for what reasons did you get your front bumper resprayed? was it a warranty job?

few months ago i had the front of my car resprayed due to nasty stone chips, but there was a defect on the paintwork of the bumper so they took it in for 2 days to rectify it

ballast is normally screwed to the underneath of the headlamp if oem
