ACA HID Ballast??

Does the ACA kit use the XLD 144 or XLD 145 slim ballast? I have a newer kit with the slim ballast and need to order a replacement. I am hoping that someone knows the part number, so I don't have to pull the headlight apart to pull the ballast off for just a part number. The 144 and 145 appear to look the same, but I guess they are not compatible?

TIA,

cj

I just checked mine, XLD 968
I got the kit a few months ago, so maybe new and improved?

Dam... and I just ordered an XLD 145. What is the difference between the 144, 145, and 968?

I would venture to guess differences in internal circuitry. The XLD 968 appears to be an older model specific for D1S bulbs. The XLD 145 is designed for aftermarket use and is not OEM equipment on any currently built vehicle. Think of it as a middle of the road from chinese HID kits and Hella, Bosch and other OEM equipment.
