Title: Xenon Headlight problem
Post by colalowe on 21. Sep 2007 at 17:18
My passenger headlight has stopped working. ::)

I have replaced the bulb but when I turn them on it just flickers for a second an still doesn't work!! :'(

Any ideas, I thought of changing the ballast unit but thats 250 from vx, dont want to sepnd that if I dont need to!

Cheers

Colin.

The ballasts rarely fail so a second hand one is a good option.

It can only be the ballast or bulb if it flickers to start with........and as you've changed the bulb......

Cheers for all your help guys, I bought a second hand ballast unit off ebay for £28 that did the trick!  :y

New bulbs are fantastic aswell.

Cheers once again! :y
