Replacement LED ballast / voltage converter for compatible Mercedes-Benz headlamps
Also supports matching Infiniti QX30 high-version applications with the correct Infiniti coding. Q30 fitment requires an original-module and configuration check.
Replace a faulty headlamp power unit with this brand-new aftermarket A2228700789 LED control module. Also known as an LED ballast or voltage converter, it supplies and controls power for LED main lighting in the compatible headlamp assembly.
Relevant Mercedes applications use factory LED headlamps, including ILS (Intelligent Light System) configurations. Match the original unit: this is not a universal replacement for halogen, xenon or every LED headlamp.
This module requires coding for the vehicle and headlamp system. Initialisation or adaptation may also be necessary. Infiniti applications require the correct Infiniti configuration. Please contact us before ordering for an Infiniti and arrange suitable diagnostic equipment and professional fitting.
Replacement for a diagnosed fault in the matching headlamp power module.
Uses the existing mounting points and connectors on compatible headlamps. Coding is required.
Fits either front headlamp when the original reference and vehicle configuration match.
One aftermarket power module supplied with a 1-year warranty.

This is an application guide, not blanket compatibility for every engine, trim, year or headlamp option. AMG Line, 4MATIC and engine badges do not establish fitment. Confirm the original module reference, connectors and headlamp specification. If your vehicle is not shown, contact us with the original module details before ordering.
| Vehicle range | Headlamp application | Before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| QX30 H15 | 2016–2019 | High-version headlamps with a matching A2228700789 power module. | Correct Infiniti coding required. Check the original unit and the other headlamp control modules. |
| Q30 H15 | 2015–2019 | Selected headlamps using original module A2228700789. | Contact us to confirm the headlamp specification and replacement configuration before ordering. |
These years identify vehicle production ranges, not guaranteed use of this module in every year or headlamp option. Confirm the headlamp version from the original modules and equipment, rather than the trim name alone.
The high-version QX30 headlamp configuration uses the related module references A2129005424 + A2228700789. The A2129005424 ILS headlamp control module is a separate unit with a different role; it is not an alternative part number for this power module. This listing supplies one A2228700789 replacement only. Replace the unit identified as faulty rather than assuming both modules need replacement.
The A2129005324 low-version module is also a different unit and is not interchangeable with this product. Contact us if you need help identifying the correct headlamp configuration.

Reference numbers help identify the relevant module family. Related or superseding numbers do not guarantee that every software version or vehicle configuration is interchangeable. Confirm compatibility and coding requirements against the original unit before purchasing.
Professional diagnosis and installation are recommended. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s electrical isolation and headlamp removal procedures. Check wiring, plugs and the headlamp light source before concluding that the power module has failed.
Inspect the headlamp for moisture, corrosion and damaged seals. Rectify water ingress before installing the replacement.
Code the replacement to the vehicle and perform any required initialisation, adaptation and lighting checks using suitable diagnostic equipment. Confirm correct operation of all relevant headlamp functions after fitting.
Complete headlamp, bulbs, LED light source, A2129005424 control module, other control units, coding service and fitting accessories are not included. Manufacturer names and OE references identify applications only; this is not a genuine Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti or Continental product.
