Xenon, potential fault??
30. Jul 2008 at 23:34

When i put my lights on tonight i got a check warning saying headlamp/tail lamp failure.
When i got out to have a look i noticed my o/s headlamp was out Sad

I turned the lights off and back on again, this time it illuminated.

Question is. Is it one of them things or is the buld about to fail, ballast unit on its way out or a dodgey switch?????

Is there a common(ish) failure point regarding this??

Don't ask Vx for a price unless you are sitting down

He he, yip it is! I got a free server a few months back, I was over the moon when I noticed it was a 3.06ghz xeon! Cheesy

Anyway, How do you say 'xeon' and 'xenon'?

Guessing xeon is zeeee-on? Lips Sealed

Anyway.... Xenons, I would go to a scrap yard if it was me, I would guess that the price from vx would be into 100's???

LMF are utter rubbish - dont buy steering idlers from them! You've been warned!
