Hi, Will remove headlight today and possibly swap the ballast... before I do.. can the ballast be removed without actually opening up the sealed headlight or is the replacement simply external.

Thanks in advance.

Ballast unit is machine screwed to underside of headlight unit so can only be removed with entire headlight out of car.

Be carefull when removing the light unit as the sharp edges of the ballast can quickly scratch bumper paintwork..I put a thick towel on the bumper to protect .

Word of warning...disconnect battery earth and leave car for around 1 hour before touching lights as yo want all the stored energy in ballast to have gone..nasty shock if not.

Thank you for your help..

I will remove the headlight at the weekend and see if there is any poor connections to the ballast,  or borrow the ballast from the other side to test.

Is the Ballast easy to get to?

Thanks again

Have you tried swapping bulbs?

If the bulb is defective...  could it light up as normal one day and not the other?  unsure so I thought maybe the power/Ballast.

Hi all, sorry if there is already a thread regarding the same .. I have tried to find one  with no joy.

I have a Omega 2003  model with xenon lights.

The passenger headlight some times lights up and sometimes does not when I turn on the lights.
When it does light up after turning on and off quickly the bulb will stay on for ever, until I turn it off again.. and then the same procedure is required in most cases.

I think the ballast maybe at fault.. is there a vid showing how to replace it or its location, any information will be appreciated.  I have seen a replacement on ebay  with a bulb  >>  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OPEL-OMEGA-XENON-HEADLIGHT-BALLAST-PACK-PHILIPS-BULB-GM-90565932-/310705648275?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AVauxhall%7CModel%3AOmega&hash=item48577ff293   

Thanks in advance.

thanks for your replies.. would be nice if it was a replacement part for my existing unit.. just got a quote for a new part from my local garage- 120amp £120  or 140 amp £99.55... i think mine is a 120  but either way seems a reasonable price for new..

i recently removed the fogs on my car.. 2003 model.. fog lamp bulbs are changed with a simple turn  on the bulb housing and it simply lifts away from the light casing. and this is the same on a 2001 model.
