Xenon replacement advice
- Thread starter Geeman
- Start date
Lol at the price of the bulb, I have no idea how they can justify it!
You're looking for a 35W D2S bulb. Though make sure it's the same colour temperature - I'm not 100% sure what that is though, very probably 4300k but I'd wait for confirmation.
Saying that, people do suggest you change bulbs in pairs as the chances of them being slightly different colour are pretty high.

You should probably switch the bulb with the other working one, just to check if it is actually the bulb that's blown.
The "controller units" (ballast) can be had new on ebay for £80ish delivered.
Ignitors come in at around £45 on ebay.

Geeman - as said above before you even think about new bulb then do left to right side swap to test the bulb/circuit. Xenon bulbs are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle and the fault can as easily be the starter or ballast (one on the rear of the bulb the other underneath the headlight unit) or even a loose connector.
In terms of bulbs then I'd buy anything that is the same temperature, which as above should be 4600
I cannot stress enough though that the lights must be off before you touch anything!!
