It's driving me insane! (Headlight)

[chrisba]

I've spent pretty much all day today trying to find the fault with my N/S headlight and it's driving me nuts.

So far I have ;

Swapped the xenon bulbs between the two headlights
Changed the bulbs in both headlights back to my oem bulbs
Swapped the igniter between the two hedladlights
Swapped the ballast between the two headlights

And I still have one xenon that is slightly brighter than the other. It's also flickering when I'm driving over un-even surfaces and it doesn't look like it's levelling properly.

Someone please help me before I set fire to it!

if its flickering over bumps i would suspect a high resistance relay contact (assuming it uses relays) change the relay & test again.

Spoil yourself Chrisba and get some Angel eye units from 2xcite. ..2 birds, 1 stone ?

I do believe the 2xcite units are halogen only (I'm not really a fan anyway tbh. Their a bit "aftermarket")

Anyway, it looks like it's sorted!

I took my cheap LED sidelights out and put the OEM bulbs back in then I noticed one of the light fixings was loose/broken (probably causing the flickering) so I siliconed that back together and manually adjusted the level of both lights and it's looking good!

Just noticed tonight that one of the sidelights has gone now and my LED number plate lights are flickering like mad!
