Hella 5DC.009.060.511 HID Xenon Headlight Ballast Control Module AFS-GDL D1S/D1R

The Hella 5DC.009.060.511 is an OEM-grade HID xenon headlight ballast and control module designed for vehicles equipped with Hella AFS-GDL (Adaptive Front-lighting System – Gas Discharge Lamp) xenon headlight systems. Also known as a xenon ballast, HID control unit, or headlight ECU, this module is the critical electronic component responsible for powering and regulating D1S/D1R high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs.

• Operates on a 12V electrical system standard to OEM applications
• Manages ignition voltage and sustains regulated current to maintain consistent xenon bulb output
• Supports Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) functionality for dynamic curve-lighting headlights

The Hella 5DC.009.060.511 is a direct-fit solution for restoring proper xenon headlight operation, including adaptive curve-lighting function. If your HID headlights are flickering, failing to illuminate, or if the adaptive lighting feature has stopped responding to steering input, this ballast control module is the most common point of failure to replace.
