Dorman 601-916 High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Ballast
Dorman 601-916 HID Ballast for Subaru Lighting Repair
Dorman 601-916 is a high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting ballast built to match the fit and performance of the original unit on select Subaru vehicles. It restores proper headlight operation when the factory ballast fails, helping return consistent HID output on the 2014-2016 Subaru Forester and 2015-2017 Subaru Legacy and Outback.
Key Features
- OE-style HID ballast replacement for exterior lighting repair
- Fits in-headlamp mounting locations
- Black housing with aluminum and plastic construction
- Water-resistant design for headlamp-area exposure
- Includes adapter connector and wiring harness
- Terminal type: blade pin; connector gender: male
- Package contents: HID ballast and igniter
- Part number 601-916 for direct catalog identification
Detailed Description
This Dorman HID ballast is engineered as a complete control module replacement for the factory lighting electronics used on select Subaru models. It is listed for 2014-2016 Subaru Forester, 2015-2017 Subaru Legacy, and 2015-2017 Subaru Outback, making it a focused solution for drivers searching for a Subaru Forester HID ballast replacement or a 2015-2017 Subaru Legacy headlight ballast repair. The unit uses a 2-connector layout, 14-gauge wiring, and an in-headlamp mounting position to align with the original system layout. Part number 601-916 is also a useful reference when comparing the correct HID lighting ballast for these applications.
This part cross-references Subaru 84965SG001 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Headlight not turning on after ballast failure
- Intermittent HID headlight operation
- Dim, unstable, or inconsistent HID output
- Faults caused by a damaged in-headlamp control module
- Need for a direct replacement ballast and igniter assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, model, and headlamp configuration before ordering. This ballast mounts in the headlamp assembly and uses an adapter-style connector with a male terminal interface. Confirm connector shape, wiring layout, and housing dimensions against the original unit before installation. Part number 601-916 should be matched to the existing ballast or OE reference for accurate fitment on the Subaru Forester, Legacy, and Outback applications listed.
Quality Assurance
Dorman designs this HID ballast to match original fit and performance requirements for the specified vehicles. The water-resistant housing and OE-style module layout support reliable headlight restoration in the factory lighting system.
