Hi,

I'm not sure if its been posted already as i tried searching with no success=(

I was wondering would it cause any issue to use a Ballast that came with the 9006 on an H7?

Thanks

Should'nt be any issues as long as the ballast is the same wattage.

That's what I thought. I looked through the ballast yesterday and it didn't say what specific bulbs it should be used for.

And yes they're the same wattage. Thanks:)

if it's an aftermarket ballast, it will have AMP connectors, they're not really bulb specific other than wattage. some aftermarket ballasts have a different type of connector which are bigger than the AMP, not sure what they are called.

Well i'm using Prolumens. Basically my right head light is out. It turns on for a minute than flickers a bit than turns off.

I'm going to swap bulbs to see if its a bulb issue or ballast. Since i have a 9006 ballast, I just wanted to know if i needed to buy one for my head lights which use H7 or reuse my spare ballast for the fog.

But thanks. Seems like there should be no problem :D.
