Default bi-xenon transformer on 2004 XC70 wagon

Headlamp out on 2004 XC70. Bi-xenon.

Volvo technician says bulb is OK...it's the ballast that is bad. $600 Volvo part. Ouch! Plus it is hard to get to...3 hours labor. Total job quote = $900 - $1,000 Double ouch!

Is there a way out? Is there a non-Volvo ballast that will work in the XC70? That I could have a local garage guy do?

$1,000 is more than I spent on my first car!

Any suggestions welcome.

get a whole new kit from sharpHID for $100. you can choose your color intensity if you don't like volvo's, or keep it the same. plus they have lifetime warrantys
