2004 S60 HID OEM part number
Does anybody have the OEM part number of the HID bulb that came with these cars? Also I had a rock hit and break the lens, which i have seen is pretty common.
The crack led to condesation in the unit. The bulb has 120k on it (to the best of my knowledge). Well the bulb stopped working the other day.
What are the possibilities the condesation made the bulb stop working? If the condesation didnt have anything to do with it, is 120k and approx 6years on the bulb normal burn out time? Is there an easy way to tell if the ballast is bad, i had a bad ballast on the other side which caused bulb failure approx 50k miles ago.
If a bad ballast is a possibility does anyone have the OEM part number? And how is replacement for someone with an OK level of mechanical ability?
Thanks for any help anyone can give!

HELP. Dipped Beam Problem. Burned Ballast
I got a S80 D5 56-reg.
Drivers side dipped beam blew a while ago, and I in my naivity thought it would just be a blown bulb. Man, am I wiser now. I called Volvo who told me the 35w dipped beam XenArc bulb for my car comes in at £120. I couldnt quite believe it, so didnt order one. I then checked on eBay and found a guy selling the exact same bulb much cheaper, and I bought 2, just in case.
This morning I decided to replace the bulb. No big deal in terms of work, but the new buld didnt sort the problem. I then tried the old bulb in the passengers side, and it worked just fine. I then swapped the two lights (left/right) around just to see if the fault were in the car, or in the headlight casing, and it was the latter.
Starting to invesitgate what else is part of the headlight assambly, I found the power cable from the dipped beam enters an aluminium box from Mitsubishi with a part no of either 6 948 180 or W3T13271. Both are on the label. Studying the matter closer, it looks like I had found the dipped beam ballast. The box is sealed, but as there was no other component involved in the dipped beam configuration, the fault HAD to be inside the box. I managed to open the box, and true enough a diode on the PCB has been incredibly hot and has finally burned out.
I consequently need a replacement ballast, but have been 100% unsuccesful in finding a replacement unit anywhere. Anybody else here who have had the same issues, and who can advise the best (or cheapest) route to have my dipped beam issue sorted ??
Any advise hugely appreciated...
