The ballast’s job is to regulate power to the HID bulb to maintain the arc. It must provide a constant 35 watts at 70 to 110 volts. The HID igniter starts the arc with very high voltage, but the ballast maintains the arc.
How does an HID igniter work?
How Does HID Light Work? The moment you turn on the lights on your car, a high voltage arc is fired by the igniter element through the xenon bulb. Once you have an established arc inside the bulb, the ballast component takes over.
Is a ballast and igniter the same thing?
The igniter functions as the firing mechanism for the bulb, the ballast functions as the power source to convert the car’s power into a usable source for the xenon bulb.
