Authentic OEM Refurbished Ballasts

Please Note: These ballasts are refurbished / factory take-off units. They are genuine OEM parts, but the cosmetic condition may vary from the photos shown.

Every ballast is guaranteed for:

• Full functionality
• Proper HID performance
• Reliable operation
• Warranty coverage

Modern Gen V Technology

The 5th Generation Matsushita ballast is an updated version of the popular Matsushita Gen 4 platform, featuring:

• A newer integrated igniter design
• A smaller overall footprint
• Improved installation flexibility
• A longer output cable for easier mounting

By relocating the igniter closer to the D2S connection point, the Gen V design allows for a longer output cord compared to many other OEM ballast options.

OEM Choice for HID Retrofits

The Matsushita Gen V ballast is a favorite among enthusiasts building HID projector retrofits or replacing aging factory xenon components.

These ballasts are commonly found in OEM HID systems from:

• Nissan
• Infiniti
• Subaru

Trusted by major automotive manufacturers, the Matsushita Gen V delivers the same dependable performance expected from a factory HID system.

Designed for OEM-Quality HID Bulbs

For the best performance and reliability, these ballasts should be paired with quality HID bulbs from trusted manufacturers such as:

• Philips
• Osram
• Morimoto XB Series

Low-quality aftermarket D2S bulbs may cause unreliable operation or compatibility issues. In many cases, the problem is caused by the bulb quality rather than the ballast itself.

Important Installation Information

OEM HID ballasts are designed to be mounted inside or partially integrated into headlight housings. Their outer casing is not naturally waterproof.

• Water exposure can damage the ballast
• Moisture-related failures may void warranty coverage
• Proper installation and protection from water are required
