Hey dudes, just wondering where u buy your oem HID headlight bulbs from.

Iv been to halfrauds n they want 90 quid each

Akso anyone know what type i will need nt had a chance to pull old one out.

Also its blown the fuse for the l/h headlight so is this likely to be the bulb or shuold i try fitting a new balast first

Thanks for looking peope.

i swapped the bulbs over today to see if the balast was knackered but now there both working:)

but the side lights dont work now. and if i turn the lights on with the ignition off the abs light, handbrake light and other light up on dash, as if ignition is turned on.

also the lamps to light up speedo n rev counter dont work now.

bloody cars.

iv just realised this is in the wrong section could a MOD move it please. thanks

hay matty the only thing i can think of mate is a dodgy earth or pinched cable that could be causing your problems, good find with the Xenons would like to buy some myself for that price

Iv jst downloaded the service manual so im gona start testing all the wires, see if i can find a problem.

I cant help but wonder about them xenons.

In my experience if something seems too good to be true then it usually is.

Just future reference for anyone with similar problems, my offside wheel had rubbed the wiring again.

So check there first before pulling your whole car apart to check wiring.

Thanks for the help
