My ballast went before the bulb did.

The bulbs have an estimated 2600 hour lifespan. How many hours on your ballast?

Default What's the lifespan for ballasts typically?

I'm considering a used set of Lltek 2pc Xenons for my car, which are probably a few years old and working well now.

Default Don't know, but would like others' experience.

I have heard that often enough, however, that if anything goes, it is usually the ballasts before the bulb. I don't know if it is the same for the
A4, but this represents a pain for an A6. The bumper has to be dropped, in order to clear the Xenon housing out of it's enclosure.
