This OEM replacement ballast replaces the Mitsubishi W3T13271 headlight control module — as fitted to BMW 3 Series E90/E91 and Volvo S80, V70, and XC70 from 2005 to 2012.
It restores reliable, flicker-free operation to your factory HID xenon headlight system. Plug straight in — no coding, no rewiring, no modifications required.
Common symptoms of a failed W3T13271 ballast: one headlight flickering, failing to ignite, or shutting off randomly. On BMW, this typically triggers a "Check Headlight" warning. On Volvo, the headlight warning indicator illuminates.
1 x Ballast unit. If both headlights are affected, add 2 to your cart.

Is It the Ballast or the Globe?
Before replacing the ballast, swap the working globe from the opposite headlight into the non-working side.
If the light works with the known-good globe, the original globe has failed — not the ballast.
If the light still fails with a known-good globe installed, the ballast is the cause and needs to be replaced.
If the headlight flickers briefly before shutting off, or takes several attempts to ignite — this is a classic ballast fault, not a globe fault.

Will this fit my BMW 3 Series?
Yes — provided your BMW is equipped with factory HID xenon headlights (not all variants are). Check that your original ballast carries the part number W3T13271 or 63126948180. If it does, this is the correct direct replacement.
Will this fit my Volvo S80, V70, or XC70?
Yes. The W3T13271 / 30744459 is the factory ballast for the Volvo S80, V70, and XC70 from 2006 to 2011 with factory HID headlights. The Volvo OEM part number for this unit is 30744459.
Do I need to replace both ballasts?
No. Unlike HID globes, ballasts do not need to be replaced in pairs. Only replace the unit that has failed.
What globe type does this ballast use?
This ballast is compatible with D1S, D1R, D2S, and D2R HID xenon globes at 35W. BMW 3 Series E90/E91 uses D1S globes. Volvo S80, V70, and XC70 use D2S globes.
Does this ballast come with a warranty?
Yes — 2-year extended Australian warranty and money-back guarantee included. Call 1300 775 359 or email [email protected].
How long does delivery take in Australia?
1–2 business days Australia-wide via Express Satchel. Delivery is included in the price — no hidden freight charges.
