An updated version of the extremely popular Gen IV model, the Gen V has their 3rd gen Igniter and a smaller footprint than most any OEM ballast on the market.

Compared to the Denso ballasts we sell, the Matsushita has a smaller footprint and a considerably longer output cord made possible by relocating the igniters.

The Matsushita’s are found under the hood of many modern Nissan, Infiniti, and Subaru vehicles as part of the original-equipment HID system.

They’re perfect for use in a HID headlight retrofit or replacing an old worn-out unit in your stock xenon headlights.

With all this good, what about the bad? Well, OEM ballasts are designed to be mounted completely or partially inside of a headlight housing, so their shell is not water-proof without your help.
