Vehicle Compatibility

This ballast is commonly fitted to factory xenon headlights on selected:

• Mercedes-Benz A-Class W169
• Mercedes-Benz B-Class W245

Compatibility depends on the headlight type and ballast originally fitted, not simply the vehicle model. Mercedes vehicles of the same model can use different lighting systems depending on specification and production date.

For this reason, always remove or inspect the existing headlight ballast and compare its reference numbers before purchasing.

Suitable for Left or Right Headlight

The 130732911901 / A1698209826 ballast can be installed on either the left-hand or right-hand headlight where this exact ballast type is originally fitted.

Common Xenon Ballast Fault Symptoms

A failed xenon ballast can cause a number of lighting problems, including:

• Xenon headlight not illuminating
• Headlight switching on and then shutting down
• Intermittent xenon operation
• One headlight working while the other remains off
• Repeated xenon ignition problems

These symptoms can also be caused by the xenon bulb, wiring or another component within the headlight system, so correct diagnosis is recommended before replacing the ballast.
