I am looking for a Ballast for a Infinity QX4. Any help for this? Can i switch to an aftermarket product that will serve the same purpose?

There are 2 different part numbers that come up for a ballast for a QX4 built from 01/00-07/01. 28474-89903 and 26055-3W700 were both used during that time, you'll need your VIN number to be sure which one your vehicle has, then if you like, find the corresponding cheap ebay version.

Just to let you know I recently purchased a eBay ballast set for my 370 and they were advertised as OEM I payed 189$ and when they showed up they didn't seal because they were slightly smaller than the actual real deal OEM ballasts from Nissan so do yourself a favor and order them from Nissan if possible

A factory one, even online will probably run you $350-$375 (They're $600 if you just walk up to the parts counter, maybe $500 if the guy does you a favor) If I were you and really trying to save a buck, I might look for a used OEM one, either online or in a pick and pull.

He's right the OEM ballasts for my 370 are just under 500$ each from Nissan which is absolute rape

Good luck with it...

btw NOMODSJK, if you knew the dealer cost on a lot of parts like this, you might not call what they charge the customer "rape." Just saying ;)
