I recently purchased a new OEM ballast from my '00 S4. I found that the power connector has only four pins versus the six pins on my original ballast. I'd like to know how to go about hooking up the two wires. For the old ballast, the live wire was connected in parallel to three pins and the ground wire was hooked in parallel to remaining three pins. I assume that the same would apply to the new ballast (except that each wire will be connected in parallel with two instead of three pins).

My question is whether that is a valid assumption, and if it is, which two pins should each wire connect to.

Thanks.

#1 did you really get the correct ones?

Yeah, I did. The ones the came with the vehicle are no longer made my Valeo. I did finally figure out the correct way to wire the new connector.

If one orients the ballast such that the power connector is in the lower left hand corner, the connection is as follows:

P G
G P

Where P stands for power and G stands for ground.

You can see a picture of the new ballast on ebay here (for now): <a href="http://i20.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/d7/bc/76_1.JPG"> New Valeo Ballast Model</a> (though the power connector is in the upper right hand corner in the picture).
