Ford 10R-044663 — OEM D8S HID Ballast Direct Replacement
This is the direct OEM replacement for the 10R-044663 (also listed as AA6557900DG and BM5Z13C170A) headlight control module — as fitted to the Ford Focus ST, Ford Mustang (2015+), and Ford F-150 with factory D8S HID headlights.
It restores reliable, flicker-free operation to your factory D8S HID xenon headlight system. No coding, no rewiring — plug straight in and it works.
Common symptoms of a failed 10R-044663 ballast: one headlight flickering, failing to ignite, or a dashboard headlight warning. If the globe has been ruled out, the ballast is the most likely cause.
Important: This is a 25W D8S ballast — not the standard 35W D1S unit. Verify your globe type is D8S before ordering. If your Ford uses D1S globes, you need the 10R-0413266 instead.
1 x Ballast unit. Ballasts do not need to be replaced in pairs — only replace the failed unit.

10R-044663 vs 10R-0413266 — Which One Do You Need?
These two Ford ballasts look similar but are not interchangeable. The difference is the globe type and wattage:
- 10R-044663 (this product): 25W — D8S globes only — Focus ST, Mustang (2015+), F-150 (2015+)
- 10R-0413266: 35W — D1S globes — Mustang (2010–2014), Explorer, Escape, Taurus, F-150 (2009–2014), Lincoln, Chevrolet, Dodge
Always match the part number printed on the label of your original ballast before ordering.
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.
