Show original supplier description
The BMW Genuine Parts 63126904548 is an OEM ignition element, also referred to as a starter ballast box, specifically designed for HID/Xenon headlights. This component provides the necessary power to ignite the gas within the headlight bulb, ensuring proper illumination. This updated version, manufactured by AL (Automotive Lighting), the original equipment supplier for BMW, is notably smaller and simpler than earlier designs. The previous design incorporated a bulb socket and wiring to a remote ignitor box, which was not always known for its longevity or ease of installation. The modernized replacement unit performs to the same specifications as the original part but offers a more streamlined and robust solution. This ignition element is listed by BMW under part number 63126904548 and is compatible with various E46 3 Series models from 1999 to 2005, including Sedan, Wagon, Coupe, and Convertible body styles. Specific fitment includes the 323Ci, 323i, 325Ci, 325i, 325xi, 328Ci, 328i, 330Ci, 330i, 330xi, and M3 models. For models produced up to September 2001, specific fitment details may apply, and it is recommended to use a vehicle selector or consult with a BMW expert for precise confirmation. This part is covered by a 24-month warranty from the manufacturer.
