HID Ballast Replacements

HID Ballast Replacements
Hopefully one of you guys can answer this. I recently had an issue with my ballast on the drivers side. I resolved the issue but in the interim I had purchased a used ballast on eBay which did not work when plugged in. The part numbers were different but the mounting/fit and plugs are all identical. Does the part number matter? I still can't explain why it didn't work, although I was able to get the old one dried out and put back in. (i'll post a DIY soon).
Thanks. - Bob

Hopefully not a problem. But I've had (aftermarket) ballasts that after a while fired up 95% of the time. I know used ballasts are a lot cheaper but you never know how many hours are on them. To me, taking off the bumper and removing the headlamp is a huge pain in the butt and if a new ballast can save me some time and aggravation, the added cost is well worth it. Yours is working now though, so that's all that matters.
